Anybody going to this?

I am booked at the moment for 3 days on the NYMR stand in the Marquee.
Call in and say hello if passing through.

Gresley, Mallard and Flying Scotsman all there yesterday.

I'm going on Tuesday-is SCOTSMAN still black?I hope so.It'll be great to look round stuff we don't normally see up here-the 395's etc.Just hope the rain keeps off!!

Yes, Scotsman is still in black, but none of the motion is present on the loco. So if, like me you'll be photographing everything, you're gonna have a hard time getting a decent shot.

So true, but the best times to photograph Flying Scotsman, is at the begining and at the end. The crowds will be quite thin at those times.

I will be on the NYMR stand for the next 2 days.
Why am I such a sucker for doing this again?

Call in and say hello if passing through.
