Nice day at the local there Mr Train. 3 winners is not to be sniffed at all.
37409 video was very nice indeed, the best 37/4 I had on the Cumbrian Coast turns. The driver thrashed its guts out, was a very enjoyable experience from Corkicle to Carlisle that day. I'd have enjoyed much much more without the bars at the droplight window. Talking of 37 haulage, I'm sure you'll have a cracking time on the short set out of Norwich, especially if 37716 is still doing them too. I had a whale of time doing them myself, so I guess you'll be really looking forward to that too.
By God Mr Train, that's good going, your down to 10 Fred's already, your doing very well on that front. I'm after 7 for sight myself. Mind you, unless you go into Teeside, they're getting rarer up here, apart from the odd engineers trains out of Tyne Yard, the infrequent York-Blyth turn and a couple of light engine moves from Millerhill-Leeds Midland Road or vice versa(a working I try to get out for when possible, as sometimes it can be a convoy of 4 or 5 locos))other than that, i don't tend so see many freds these days. GBRf and Colas seem to monopolise the freight up here now. You may hit lucky at Ipswich for any of your errant sheds.
But here's a taster of what could greet you in Norwich.

minus the 68 now mind but I hope that whets the appetite for you Mr Train.
Another good read, enjoy Anglia mate.
Certainly does whet the appetite for my trip. A bit more of that would go down just nicely.
As for the 'freds' (I like that name for them ), I was slightly surprised to find myself so close to completion but I guess I am blessed with FLR workings through the local. Completing the set will be tough though as I need all of their gronks
