Very nice, thanks - surprisingly though doesn't seem to have attracted many people?

Thanks BB 
The reason behind the lack of people is that she was half an hour early and pulled in behind the NRM at 5:30, just as she was supposed to arrive at the station. I'd learnt my lesson with missing 70013 and decided to go to the station 45mins early. It paid off.
A cab ride into the NRM was a no, but the driver took her a few feet down the platform with me in the fireman's seat. The whistle was about as stiff as a terrier's reverser, but that's a cab ride and whistle blown in all three, saving the best till last

I have been very lucky and I've managed a lot more this year than any other year; cabbing Green Arrow http://2509-silverlink.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5ez1ar , the UK A4's, everything at Railfest and driving Truro. If 70013 is doing runs at Model Rail live I'll try to get a cab ride in her too. With regards to static locos, Blue Peter is probably the next one to aim for getting into, hopefully finishing off the year with 4489 and 60008
