October/November 2006

A few odd shots from around the country during late Autumn

40135 stabled at Bury after taking part in the line's English Electric day, I had forgotten my tripod so I used the track to support my camera and a piece of ballast to prop up the lens, however I was very pleased with the results of my bodge.

92203 Black Prince approaches Dixton Cutting on the Glos/Warwicks Rly

Foxcote Manor on the turntable at Barrow Hill's steam gala

37905&198 at Meldon Quarry during their popular first diesel gala

37410 at Keanes Crossing near Gloucester on the rugby specials

37406 brings up the rear as the train is held to allow an HST to clear section

As much as I dislike these things I was very pleased with this shot and it made getting wet for the third time today slightly more worthwhile
