Not sure if anything is going to happen, but there is some interesting activity at the house so will open this thread in case. I am recording as usual so will review it when I get home. Ok, watched at the coffee shop and 15 was doing switching in the swamp so will go through the recordings and post some shot. When they do this we do not see very much. The 2 MoW cars the Friends were working on have also been moved as well as 2 of the speeders that were on the tipple access.

Thanks Sharon, I always seem to be away from my desk when moves are made.

Good Evening Sharon,

Nice camera work. Reviewed your submissions for today and did not find a video of locomotive 487 being cleaned at the pit this morning. I enjoy this part of the day's activities, thus it is rather long. Disappointed that YouTube processed my submission at 480p, but there are times when a later final processing will result in a sharper 720p.
