Nice shot, Michael. Never seen so much smoke..makes a change.

I went to see it a week last Saturday (28th.) but it had problems and was replaced by Royal Scot.

I thought people had given up posting locos so I didn't post it. I'll do it now.

I haven't seen any steam for a while, but I think the next two Saturdays have something close to me.

Looks like these,Mike. Hope the weather will be ok.

18th. Duchess of Sutherland Crewe to Holyhead return.

23rd. Tornado. London >Crewe> Chester
 
Yes, though on the morning it actually turned out to be "Galatea" as the original loco was unavailable. If anything this was better for me, as I don't really like DoS in green. I am debating whether to post the photos as they're not really anything special, other than record shots.

Oh..you must post Galatea. Sometimes the loco photos aren't the best but us steam enthusiasts still enjoy looking at any,especially the wonderful crimson lake colour of Galatea..same as Princess Elizabeth. I'd travel a good distance to see them even though I already have photos of both.

Oh, excellent, that is good news. I will have to keep an eye open for opportunities then.

I will re-process and start a thread when I get a minute.
 
"Excellent" shot Sir, really pushes all the right buttons for me.(y)

I have a choice this Saturday, Tornado or Oliver Cromwell both going to Chester.

Looks like it will be Tornado only problem it will have to be fighting with the pylons on the Trent Valley Line.

Wife and I are going to Chester on Saturday, it was surprisingly cheap to get there on the train, so should be seeing them both, partly a day out as its my birthday tomorrow and to get to see some steam.
 
Have a nice trip, I like Chester generally though I can't remember the last time I was anywhere near the station.
