Many thanks James, much appreciated, the only thing I don't like is the shaky at times tripod.....best regards....Mark

Great stuff. I worked with more MGR trains than anything. We used to load 45 HAA`s at Liverpool docks for Fiddlers Ferry power station, amongst others. Back in the day, they were powered by 4 Class 20`s in Multi before they went to 2 56`s or a single 60. All day and night, it never stopped. We thought it would continue for ever, all gone now I`m afraid. The coal plant is still there in Mothballs. So sad.

Ahh they were the days when we had coal traffic rumbling through worksop.... Unfortunately no freight passes through here these days apart from the odd network rail test train..... 😭😭😭😭😭😭
