Fabulous stuff Ivo. Great to see you again.

Thanks, Phil. Just like old times but heck it was hot out linesiding. Great to catch up with you all.

Superb coverage Keith, those first generation diesels sounding wonderful, but the Deltic was something else. The loss of sound is something we've all suffered from over the years, but it always seems to happen during capturing those special clips...Regards...Bob

Hi Bob. Thanks. It was a very good gala, and it was nice to be lineside again. The Deltic did steal the show, though. Keith

I travelled on this railway in 2022 on my trip from Australia to UK/Europe. What is the building above the Crowcombe Heathfield platform visible at 3:05?
Excellent video showcasing what must have been an enjoyable day. I am visiting again this year, WSR is so good.
