Filmed on the Watercress Line on September 27th & 28th 2003. We
enjoyed four visiting engines, and some lovely sunny weather. The programme
is arranged by engine, and follows each in turn up and down the line. Because
of the timetable, and the direction the locos were facing, I did not film
on the Four Marks - Alton section on this occasion, but I'm sure that will
be covered in future programmes.

SR Bulleid Battle Of Britain class 4-6-2 no 34081 92 Squadron from the Nene Valley Railway. Although she suffered some boiler problems that stopped her working on the Sunday, she put up a fine display on Saturday and was, for me, the star of the show. Let's hope she comes back soon. |
