Good morning my friend, it is a pleasure to look at the first-class recording. You have proven once again that you are a professional. The trains, the photo spots, the hustle and bustle at the station are fantastic to watch. Thank you for your excellent work. I wish you a nice Sunday. Best wishes, Wolfgang 👍👍👍😊
Thank you very much! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday too. It’s raining again here, so I definitely chose the correct day to visit this railway. To be honest, it’s layout isn’t the easiest to film at, and it was very very busy which meant that many of the locations are far from ideal - but I hope it was still watchable!
@ The recording is absolutely brilliant. You did a great job. It couldn't be better. You are a professional👍👍👍😊

because never visiting for very first time before on GCR
They would be good to see at future events 👍
I love the low shots of the wheels and mechanisms. Beautiful.
Ah, glad you like them. This station is great for the low shots.
Very enjoyable - looks like a perfect Winter's day!
It was! If anything, the sun was too bright at times!! Cold but bright, very nice day to be out and about.
Always excited to see steam engines in action! :)
Absolutely! And there’s another Austerity saddle tank for you 👍👍👍
Nice. Work🚂👍👍👍
Thankyou! I hope you enjoyed some more GWR heavy freight action - I got the 2884 class on a freight train at one point which was lovely ☺️
Excellent recording!
Many thanks! ☺️
@ I was there yesterday. It was a great day and lovely weather too
It was! I was originally going to go on the Friday, but was put off by the potential high winds - and today it hasn’t stopped raining (here in Worcestershire at least) - so I really think we chose the right day!! If anything, the sun was too bright at times!
lovely train as wheels!
Cheers! 😃👍
Good video
Thanks! 🤩
