This seventeen-second clip was taken at Bury Bolton Street on the East Lancashire Railway's Anniversary Celebrations on Wednesday 25th July 2007. The star of the show was 40145 having just emerged from Buckley Wells shed newly painted in Large Logo along with its new nameplate that can be seen in the background. The loco has just returned from Ramsbottom, and the driver (Dave Peacock) and secondman (Matt Jackson) are keen to get going. This is a seminar shot with an assortment of old and new members of the CFPS seen here posing for the camera. There are more images of a similar nature on Derek Gordon's excellent Fotopic website. Notice Martin Butterworth - former Chairman of the Class 40 Preservation Society -- in a grey suit-jacket on the front-row, Martin Walker - the current Chairman of the CFPS - in a light-blue shirt, and Top Man Steve Jones just returned from a holiday in Blackpool and still wearing his sexy striped t-shirt. Notice John Stephens hanging onto the loco, but that is nothing unusual, and also standing tall is Bury Diesel Group/CFPS member Richard Davenport in black jacket and blue jeans.
