Very nice video! I used to be a driver there 25 years ago, and it's nice to see 2345 still going - she used to be 'Lady Ingrid', and regularly take 4 coaches there and back. You needed a fireman up to the job to get back, otherwise the brakes started dragging, and you were done for!
Renaming any spam can to 66 Spitfire is in bad taste. For those who are unaware 66 was the loco involved in the Lewisham crash 4/12/57 when many lives were lost and many injured.

Looked a great day , I visited this railway a couple of weeks ago and how it has progressed since a previous visit is fantastic.

I see at as a remembering of the incident and not at all in bad taste, but that’s just my opinion and this isn’t meant to disrespect your’s.
