This 20 second video shows CFPS machine 40145 whistling away in large logo just before it departs from Ramsbottom on its way to Bury Bolton Street on the East Lancashire Railway.  A couple of hours before, 40145 emerged from Buckley Wells shed after a rapid repaint into large logo, followed by a groundbreaking ceremony when 40145 was graced with the 'East Lancashire Railway' nameplate.   The locomotive is looking brand new in this shot and also sounded brand new thanks to CFPS engineer Dave Peacock and his gang of followers.  This video could have been longer but for the hustle and bustle of the moment, but I like this one a lot.  The date is Wednesday 25th July 2007.  More images can be found of a similar nature on Derek Gordon's excellent Fotopic website.
