hi there. great video, we used to have 9682 at southall railway centre but it was un restored, these are great locos as are the jinties,

Panniers are lovely locos, no matter what their size, they always sound really good when working. Hoping to see 9682 in the near future when it has it's turn for overhaul completed.

This is brilliant!. What a fantastic show and well captured video. Did you enjoy it? I was firing 1369 in this video.

Was a fab day and very enjoyable, I'm a regular visitor to the South Devon Railway where 1369 is based, lovely little engine too. Love visiting the Dean Forest as well when I can, those hill climbs to Parkend really give the locos a chance to stretch their wheels. Looking forward to future events. :)
