Hi everyone,

    If you haven't already seen my web site (Victorian Railfan Web Site) the URL is

    One complaint I have about the tour is that everyone talked during the
photostops. This ruins any video tapes that were taken on the day. Also people
didn't think before they crossed in front of photographers. Apart from that it was
certainly an unusual trip!

    I was stuck in the compartment next to his. Unfortunately he only stopped for
about 10 minutes, he talked non stop for the rest of the day. He was also shouting
about something when the two NR's passed Brooklyn on the freight, so he's wrecked
the video I have of it. He was even talking to himself at Newport!

    I don't really like the color scheme on Y 127.
