I'm no computer nerd meself but:

a) I can follow a link

b) My 'puter can play the vid.

I have never been on Facebook. Tweeting s something birds do, innit?

But I LIKED the vid so there!

Thankfully at long last it has a proper double chimney.

First class paint scheme, shows the engine of properly.

Aye to the proper double chimney. Sim, I thoroughly enjoyed your vid and the photo from it.

I too only remember them in 2 colours, dark green and dirty. Glad to see a propper chimney on her.

Hi Simierski

Just to follow on from my two-penn'ort the other day and letting you know I have 'lifted' the photo as my Desktop Background - I was so impressed

I hope you don't mind my ignoring copyright law. Please say if you do and I'll remove it forthwith

Regards

Just to say chaps for your kind words. I was pretty cross (read furious!) at the now deleted comment. YouTube is fast becoming my full time job, and to some extent I will need to develop a thicker skin as when you put your work in the public eye, you are (rightly) subject to criticism. I guess I just didn't expect to get such harsh criticism from a member of this forum (though that by no means reflects on the rest if the forum, for whom I have a great amount of time for).

Feel free to lift the original picture chaps for desktop backgrounds, etc, from my blog. I can and will provide a few more photographs when I get home and am on the laptop.

Incidentally, 60163's loaded test run is now after the visit to the NYMR.

Ha ha, how right you are. Twenty-odd years in the music business taught me that one in a hurry. Best advice I ever got from a seasoned pro when I was starting out, "Requirement number one in this game is a skin like a rhino." Never a truer word.

Right chaps, as promised:

She looks good, unfortunately she is not coming north of Newcastle this year so I will have to travel to see her.
I wonder if the performance will improve with the re-shaped double chimney?
