If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Severn Valley Railway Diesel Gala 2021
Thanks for sharing GR, great to see as I do love my diesels! The Cl.20 looks superb in LT livery. The Clayton looks very nice but I prefer them in the two-tone green - the colours on Heljan model up on my layout. I must make an effort to attend more events like this. I check many of the railcams two or three times a day on my TV on Youtube - the SVR have several and there are good videos posted my those who have attend main events do I feel like I'm there (virtually). It is interesting jumping around the globe on live Railcams and seeing what time of day it is in other countries and what the weather is doing. You even see some of their trains sometimes!
There is at least one in Flagstaff AZ - perhaps we should get Paul to go and wave into it at a pre-arranged time for us to see

Thanks all.
The cam in Flagstaff is on Virtual Rail Fan, they do a "2 day grab bag" on YouTube. It would be nice to see him on there so we could take the mic........say hello.
