I might add to James' recommendation that a lot of the planning for the C&TS portion of the tour is being done with the advice of our own Michael Allen who has planned many of the successful recent photo charters on the C&TS. While I have not been on one of David's charters, I have been on various charters sponsored by British organizers in China, South Africa, and on the C&TS, and the Brits have very high standards for their photo ops. Between the spectacular scenery along the C&TS, fall color, and the kind of creative photo ops the Brits are know for....my guess is this will be a first rate opportunity for some great pictures of our favorite railroad.
