A few of the model engines even made a quick appearance on the tv news down here in NZ.

Full Coverage on Information TV at 5PM (GMT) 3rd January

The full live coverage is on Information TV tonight as broadcast live to the world. SKY 166 (189for +1) & freesat 402. It will also be simultaneously steamed live on the information TV's website at the same time. Not sure whether this is available internationally.

The miniatures engines appear three times, good coverage each time, the last you see of the engines is when they go past the borough mayors

Steamer coverage at 9min ,48min & 87min from start of broadcast.

Julia 3rd January 2011 08:33 PM

Guys - we were edited out of tonights re-broadcast. It was not the same as shown for the last two nights. Looks like all the steamer are on the cutting room floor - rotters.

Hi there
There was a very short clip about 25 minutes into tonight's viewing.

Poo, I missed you guys and I only live a mile away
never thought I'd see steam in London again especially with their anti pollution measures
Still there's always next year

Just watched the parade courtesy of the Sky Plus doobrey. Was very impressed to learn the miniatures were in fact built between 1880 and 1930 and were restored lovingly by their owners. Classic!
