Arrive at 06.30 to raise steam for a 09.30 off shed. Trundle up and down enjoying the merry footplate banter with just a few shovels at a time to keep the fire light and bright. Disposal at 18.00 and go home knackered but really content. Boy, do I miss being a fireman ! That little 040 must be a delight to work with authentic old coaches lovingly restored by craftsmen. And all volunteers. I dont doubt there is railway politics but what a delightful day.
Stuck, as we all are, in 'Lockdown' this Easter, it was a great joy to visit the MSLR for the first time - but, of course, only through the medium of this wonderful video. I just wish it were a longer video. With no comments to distract my enjoyment, this made my enjoyment the greater. Thank you!! I must find out where you are! Google next!!
Michael Gamble hopefully soon things will start to get back to normal and I can get out and make more videos! The Middy is being extended to about twice it’s current length - longer video then! 😊
