Nice views from Carlisle Julian, Sir Nigel Gresley looking and sounding good. Best wishes, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff - yes looking and sounding superb! And nice to see her stationary and close up rather than racing through a station or countryside (which is also good).

Superb video Julian. I was at the station myself as it was the first time I had seen 60007. An unforgettable afternoon!. Best Wishes.

Thanks Stephen - it looks like we were very close at Carlisle!. This is my first view of Sir Nigel since seeing her in bits at York Railway Museum!

Lovely video Julian, as we’ve got used to expecting. Glad to see you’re out again. 👍

[@JulianThurgood]

Thanks Ian - I go on very few outings now sadly. I've not seen Sir Nigel since her last trip before repair in July 2015 at Edinburgh, so I felt I had to go and see this! Well worth the effort!
