Great bit of film, showing from track level. Some modellers even put passengers in carriages and drivers in cabs (i am a retired BRtrain driver), so tend to notice when somebody has been bothered to go for realism, as opposed to slap dash mediocre attempts. Also a proper display of coupling up, in that driver draws forward, stops about 6 foot away, then draws forward, then ease up couplings, then pull away test, then shunter or guard goes "In between", links up electrics and air pipes. To not stop,but to just run into the stock is considered a COLLISION and shows no skill at all. Would be nice to see more crews in cabs though.

"SWAG"??? Sound like something like thief wearing a stripped T-Shirt wearing a eye mask over his eyes with a cloth bag over his shoulder full of goodies with the word "Swag" written on it!!! - only joking of course!!! 😁 Looks like you had a good day out filming it all - Thanks for sharing 😊🚂🚂🚂
