Hi from Dorset
 

Hi

I live in Yetminster, Dorset, with my husband Nick and my daughter Emma.

Both Nick and I are steam enthusiasts and I am on the support crew of 6024 King Edward 1.

We both do quite a bit of video and I am attempting to get to grips with my Canon 400D!

Cheers

Hello Fireboxchaster,welcome to the mad world of Railway Forum,i look forward to reading you posts.

All the best,Ian.

Hi and Welcome
 

Welcome to this crazy but delightful forum for us wonderful people who love the trains of this world. I also do video and I use an Hitachi DZ-MV730E. Last sunday I stood on the footplate of a Swiss loco whilst going over The Gotthard Pass and took two discs (38 minutes in total of DVD).
Are we crazy or not? I would say a little but oh what a delight




I'll keep taking the pills and enjoy life whatever others think

Hi Shirley, welcome to the Forum. Would love to see some of your KG1 videos. I managed to get a few mins of her arriving at Temple Meads and a short bit as she ran out from the Bath Road bridge heading towards Bedminster. I will post them soon. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do.

Hi Shirley,

Welcome to the Forum. Look forward to news and Video of the King.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Hello and welcome to the forum Shirley.

Hello Shirley and welcome to the Forum, enjoy and all the best.

Welcome Shirley.
6024 is a fantastic locomotive and always looks great out on the mainline.

Hi Shirley, welcome to the Forum,
regards

HI SINCE YOU ARE SUPPORT CREW TO KING EDWARD ,I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS LOCO BEING AT THE SVR THIS WEEKEND ?PS MY BROTHER LIVES IN BRIDPORT IN DORSET

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but 6024 had a hot box last Sunday at Taunton and will be unavailable for the Gala. 42968 has replaced her according to National Preservation. She will remain at WSR for repair to the front axle box before resuming her duties later from Bristol Barton Hill.

Cheers

Shirley

thnaks to everyone for your kind remarks about our locomotive. Videos of her and others out on the mainline can be reached via my website:

Hope it doesn't take too long to sort.

Best wishes,
