    Thanks Paul,
    I enjoyed that.......:thumbs:
    It was only a week or so back,that we walked past the Garrett in Thirlmere Railway Museum.
    Nice to see it running at good speed. The rainy day adds a bit of atmosphere too.
    :cheers::tophat:Gormo

    Like Ron said, weather wise, especially today, it could be the UK. A great video, thanks Paul!

    You forgot to mention the distinctive Aussie 5 chime whistles... They're not those shrieking whistles you chaps have in the UK ! :avatar::avatar:

    Great video indeed. Unfortunately both Chris and myself were at the Rosehill Exhibition on that weekend so it is great to see some video of the Saturday race. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.
