I would like to see some footplate footage showing bit sof the actual footplate- an actual drivers eye view which many people don't seem to do.

...because you can't fit the camera ON the footplate!! And it would get covered in oil!

You could try putting it on Matilda's tender, me and Jools have done that with Lady of the Lake but as it's a manual engine you get fingers coming into shot every so often

Oh yes, you said you ordered one a few months back. I want one. Because it's got Radio Control, you can make realistic stops at stations

I have 2 things for you:

10 commandments:

Number 10. - You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

And Number 6. - You shall not murder. *WOOPS!*
