Isle of Wight Steam Railway

Following on from @droomin posy earlier. Thought I’d post the video I mentioned.
Back in the late 50s/early 60s my family would go to the Isle of Wight for our annual week’s holiday from Leicester. As an avid trainspotter these trips were eagerly anticipated for the SR locos to be ‘copped.’ At that stage the Island had twenty-one steam locos and I managed to see all of them except one. There has been a line missing from my book for over sixty years. Finally, last week I managed to ‘cop’ No 24 Calbourne, and here is the proof!
I also managed to video Calbourne & 4-6-2T 41298 using my drone.
Could have stayed all day getting very nostalgic, but Management had other ideas!!
