8572 Cab Ride

[2002EarlMarischal]

Photos to come on my return home, but my birthday treat today was a return trip in the B12 cab on the marvellous NNR! 61572 was my first model loco and still my favourite engine.

What a great welcoming crowd they are, and overall an excellent experience enjoyed by my wife too! Many thanks to Vinny in the office, Tony, George and fireman who's name I failed to get.

Some photos of today's trip behind 8572:

I've avoided the shots of some bloke with a huge grin on his face for fear of frightening fellow forum members!

I have some video footage from the cab but need to figure out how to upload it, or perhaps where to upload it!

You can upload it on youtube, or if you don't want to make an account for one video, I can upload it on my account for you, evidently stating the circumstances of how the video was made etc

Thanks for the kind offer Blackout. I'm uploading it to You Tube as I type. Should see if it's worked in about 15min!

And here it is:

First attempt at this sort of thing and done on my iPhone so be gentle!

It worked just fine. Very enjoyable bit of footage, thanks Earl.
