NMT & convoy, FAB! 43013 & 43062, then 20189, 20142, 50033 & D182. Cradley Heath, 04/06/24.

1Q15 Derby - Swansea, with toots, then 0Z20 convoy from the SVR to the West Somerset Railway for the gala. I think that convoy shot must be one of the best here - not too fast & plenty of noise. Glad I wan't bowled!!

Nice one Mr S...good see the elderly, confused (but distinguished) gentleman down the end of the platform on the first clip....

I'll check yours later Mr. H - I'm sure you'll have done a good job as well.

Awesome footage.👍🏻

[@SharposWorld]

Thanks, I was lucky the convoy was approaching slowly, the bonus was when they accelerated through the station.

[@colingarwood9971]

Great catch Sharpo 👍

[@SharposWorld]

Thanks Colin, usually if there are a couple of trains to see here I have to walk to & from the station twice - keeps me fit, but today it was all in the space of 30 minutes and I was soon back home to cut the grass before it rained!!!

Thanks Liam, yes, some of them enter into the spirit of things as if they enjoy their job - makes the world a better place.

Hi paul good to see you're still out filming i thought the weeds made the station look like a scene of a nasty accident lol keep up the good work mate kev

[@SharposWorld]

Thanks Kev, yes, I still do my best to get out if anything of interest locally. Looking through your videos reminded me of a scarlet tiger moth on the lawn when I was trying to cut the grass today. I had to carefully encourage it to fly away, which it did - but just went to the other end of the lawn. Fortunately that part had already been cut so I didn't need to move it again. Here's a video I filmed of one last year - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpCmfH9tbK-SZrssi=pmtK2iDUz93T_qob
