fantastic always lovely to hear Gresley in action

[@themodster]

She was on fine form all day. Thomas

[@callumthornelow2936]

Excellent footage Thomas. 👍 I'd say SNG has had a brilliant first year back...
• A run on the Settle-Carlisle line
• Hauling teak coaches (twice)
• Returning to the NYMR, her "home railway"
• And of course returning to the East Coast Mainline.
The LNER black was fun while it lasted too, Bring on the blue.

Thanks Callum. It'll be great to see her back as No.7 in the new year. Thomas

Fantastic video, lovely to see an A4 on the mainline these days!

[@themodster]

Thanks Charles. It's certainly been quiet since 60009 retired. Thomas

Incredible Tom!

[@themodster]

Thanks! Thomas

[@alts1985]

Nicely filmed and put together, you've certainly been covering a few miles!

[@themodster]

Cheers Ashley. It was certainly worth the traveling to get all the action shown! Thomas

Nice video and lovely whistle! I believe Francis bourgeois was there too

[@themodster]

Thank you. Yes he was there at Virginia Water. Thomas

[@foxylady1048]

Great video Thomas, but was disappointed that you didn’t pan and follow. Would have been amazing to see it steaming away.

[@themodster]

Thanks Richard. My choice of locations didn't make panning worthwhile, either because of being on the same platform as the train, or because of other people being behind me. I did end up panning in the final shot at Cholsey though. Thomas

Excellent video of Sir Nigel Gresley in action Thomas 👍👍
I’m been wounding, how did you & Edward get to Reading from Virginia Water?

[@themodster]

Thanks Joe. There was a pathing stop for the A4 just before reading which allowed our Waterloo service to arrive about a minute before it came into the platform. Thomas
