Modified Rapture on Christmas Eve 24 12 24

[@nigelstott1849]

Hi Tim. It was unbelievably quiet on Christmas Eve. We travelled from Dewsbury to Seamer. Coming back today (27th) was another matter entirely. Thanks Thanks for a final blast of steam and all your videos from 2024. All the best for next year.

Thank you Nigel. 2025 will catch us all too soon!

If I survive the festive excesses I'll be back online ere long!

[@samanthaleese52]

See you next year sir! ❤

[@schoolshorts]

I'll look forward to that Sam.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Was that my final cameo for 2024? Thanks for the great company when out filming the steam.

[@schoolshorts]

I'm sure it was - but we'll be bumping into each other again before too long - if I'm spared!!!

[@tankmicr00man]

Thank you again Tim, a seasonal bonus from the Citadel! Wishing you all the best for the new year, and many more steamy treats! Tim

[@schoolshorts]

Hopefully we'll keep them coming!

[@FlyingScott]

Can't believe only one person commented on your hat, who doesn't love a jolly Christmas hat? A shame the Class 5 wasn't leading, I bet she would have been quite the sight with that headlight. Happy New Year to you too Tim, here's to steam - and diesel too, of course - yet to come!

[@schoolshorts]

- - even when it says "Bah! Humbug"

[@FlyingScott]

@schoolshorts *Especially* when it says "Bah! Humbug"

[@TimRoss-l7d]

Another great video :)

[@schoolshorts]

Thank you.

[@tonyelse1315]

Thanks Tim for the mention see you next year.

[@schoolshorts]

It's the people like yourself who are so often overlooked. Without you and your colleagues these charters simply couldn't happen. Best wishes.

[@JimmysTransportMarvels]

Very nice tim, couldn't make it to see 45407 return! Also, 47712 with the scotrail push-pull set is going up to Bo'ness to day and returning back down on the 30th!

[@schoolshorts]

Thanks James. Doubt I'll make it for 30th but - who knows?

[@michaelmiller641]

Happy new year to you too, Tim, thanks for all the videos!

[@schoolshorts]

- - - and a good one to you too Michael.

[@petergeorgew6208]

Great vlog Tim… Wishing you all the very best for 2025, with hopefully, many vlogs from you next year too 👍🏻😊

[@schoolshorts]

I'll keep them coming for as long as I'm able.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Really very good video and a lot of younger people don’t really know what steam trains are unless you have either been on one before or you have seen them before but in my case I have been on a lot of steam trains before and I still like them there’s something quite nice about them in that the way they work and sound of steam coming from the them and you don’t get that with an electric train but I do still like diesel trains as well very good filming Tim and looking forward seeing your next video in 2025

[@schoolshorts]

Not long to go now until 2025!

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Yes definitely not long to go until 2025 and hopefully better summer weather for you in Scotland

[@BufferBoi]

Great video and shots as always Tim! I really enjoyed this,especially with your very festive hat! I heard that WCR fitted the class 5 with an American chime, Did you get to hear it?

[@schoolshorts]

'Fraid not Jonathan. All communication between the various locomotive crews was by walkie-talkie - not how they did things in the steam age!

[@BufferBoi]

@ ahhhh ok! I guess that’s what All Preservation societies do nowadays. I wish I could’ve lived to see the heyday of steam.

[@cedarcam]

A nice end of year bonus for you even if it did have a box on the front. Oddly they let Tangmere lead the way from York on that empty stock so you just never know.

[@schoolshorts]

A mild disappointment but better than nothing! Happy New Year.

[@cedarcam]

@@schoolshorts It certainly is Tim. Happy New Year
