It is very much appreciated. Once you are in the driving cab the make-up of the set is not obvious so I think it works fine. Looking forward to the return journey. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it Chris! Railfan had made me aware about your history with the 101, so part of the reason for making the change was for you and others familiar with the 101 to be able to drive the scenario with something period-correct, even if that exact model might have been making a guest appearance.

Great run in the 101, really enjoyed this one thank you Cyclone and TobBirk. It is certainly easier getting the 101 up those hills than that Pannier. A long way South for the Weardale 101 but it manged admirably and it didn't get a 'nose bleed' when it came south of Sheffield !! - it did bring the rain with it though. Cheers
