Lots of nice Thompson carriages there. You could see a broken down diesel double head with a V2 occasionally while spotting at Hatfield.

Oh to see Mallard like this now in lined BR green

I've thoroughly enjoyed viewing your Decades of Steam 1960s series, even tho the standard isn't up to today's high standard. They give us a great insight into what was happening at the time. I noticed that, at the start of the part 3 series, there is a photo depicting a collection of locos including a Caledonian "Jumbo" and a 4-4-0 which lead me to believe that the shed is Motherwell MPD (66B) which became a last bastion of pre grouping and LMS and Standard locos. However, there are no supporting videos to support the photo, which for a Scottish steam fan, is disappointing. As I said, I've really enjoyed your series, but having looked at them all, I can find no sign of this Scottish scene. Therefore I wonder if it may be included in another of your series? I'd appreciate your assistance. Best wishes from Ken in Ayrshire, Scotland.

I was hoping to see video of scrapping steam locos though. I wonder if he has got any from Cashmores, Drapers, or any of the BR works like Crewe or Doncaster?

some of the a4 class streamlining was removed if you removed the a4 class's classic streamlining then it could still run and nigels successor even planned to build a batch of non streamlined a4s and after an engine has unfortunately been scrapped then we really have no idea what happens to its molten metal.
