Thats the one i liked.

Saw a video on YouTube a couple of days ago uploaded by someone from Japan who made a video from Kings Cross to Waverley and they got some excellent footage of the approach to Berwick and going over the viaduct.

Never bothered leaving a comment though because I didn't think he would understand the importance. I might be wrong though.

Should be back at Derby this weekend...

072 is a VP185 so MEH is my opinion!

Give me 058 though as that is a screaming VP185

Got some ex-Virgin Valentas running around with FGW...They are bloody awesome too!

060.

Cheers for that.

Tom, I know the ex-Virgin machines have been converted to MTU 16V4000s, but their old Valenta 12RP200Ls are still in use in some of the other FGW 43s. Fooking amazing show they put on too!
