    Brilliant video as always. The unloading was slightly more difficult than expected, as we only found out late in the day, that the trailer didn't have a winch, so the two tippler wagons were used as barrier vehicles along with the Ruston shunting loco to pull Ajax off the trailer. With everyone knowing what was needed, the operation was completed safely and efficiently, start to finish in 4 hours.

      92 Regiment from NVR went on the same day. NVR would have had lots of promotion from many different people. Where as my favourite railway, the NLR didn't want that and kept Ajax's arrival on the down low. I'm very grateful they chose us to film. Sad I wasn't there in person but very lucky to have Ryan as dedicated as he is
