Hi 👋🏻 Will. Steam is always fantastic but that 08 looks absolutely awesome 👏🏻 It was a fantastic work horse in its day on BR with over a thousand being built 😀 I loved chasing all over the country in the 70s 80s trying to cop them all lol 😆

Interesting video - so many projects on the go at the same time.

I was impressed Mark apparently knew every job. Did they keep stopping the filming or was there an enormous whiteboard behind the camera? I couldn't have kept track of all that stuff!

[@WillStratford]

@@thomasm1964 Nope he's just that good! That and Ropley MPD is his domain so oversees most of the jobs going on in there.

[@thomasm1964]

@@WillStratford Then I am truly impressed!
