Great pictures Steve, if only i could persuade Heather, that a Drone could be of some use, whilst locked down. I imagine the outstanding list of jobs would be her priority.

Oh, you have a list too. Or at least the "Governor" does!

we had a Dutch friend, here, who died, unfortunately, too young. He kept a written list of jobs to do. Went to 5 pages. Refused to bump any up, the list, much to frustration of his lady wife. Heather, just says, before you start your list, could you just .......

Regrettably no sound Barry, but then again, all it would hear would be the buzz of the drone motors.

There is a distinct risk that I am starting to sound like the guy on another forum who is always pushing his videos - and for that I am truly sorry.
But.....I found a sound clip on the BBC sound effects website to add to the footage. Not perfect, but it will do .

Very good. Did the sound track have the doppler effect already - or are you a sound techie? R-

A lucky coincidence. The sound file was around three minutes long so I just picked out the bit that sounded ‘right’.
The sound is an unidentified 2-6-2 tank loco and probably running a bit slower than ‘Repton’ but it works for me.
A bit like trying to match TTS decoders to the ‘wrong’ loco.

I agree - a very good fit with the video. R-

The loco sounded like it was really working hard.

Not bad - as Brian said "sounded as though the loco was working hard" and going a but slower? Perfectly acceptable. Barry

If you put that on a certain forum, they could probably give you the loco number - just from the chuffs

First day of this year’s autumn gala - well supported as usual.
