Windy as heck, but not too cold, almost spring like it is.

Humph. I was supposed to be going over Ribblehead behind Union of South Africa last weekend, but it was cancelled - apparently needs new piston and valve rings. Really disappointed, it was meant to be my birthday treat, 60009 is due to be withdrawn very shortly and none of the other A4s are in working order - Sir Nigel is in pieces being repaired, Bittern is in storage at the old Hornby factory in Margate waiting for repair. Mallard was only repaired enough for light duties for the 50th anniversary of the world record, so is unlikely to move under its own steam any time soon.
Still, went by Tornado from Milton Keynes to Chester year before last, it is superb. No need for a diesel back engine like many of the antique ones. At the next platform in Chester was Oliver Cromwell - made a great scene.

I know a couple of lads who know the owner of 600009, hoping to get a closer look at some point.

Many (25?) years ago, I took some photos of Sir Nigel Gresley in pieces in the sheds at Steam Town, Carnforth. and it's in pieces again?
We can see the trains of the Bolton Abbey and Embsay Railway in the valley below our house, so steam trains are quite 'normal' in our village, although never very large ones. The big event shortly is the launch of the public use of the perfectly re-conditioned 1903 railcar.
