Its been a while I know, but here we are finally. The delay is due in part to the passing of a family member. My beloved Sunny Spray 1.4 has been sent to car heaven after being written off, ironically, on my birthday. To add insult to injury, my insurer sent me a birthday card the same day...

Just a few from this weekend, and Tuesday :) . First is 47580 making what I'm told is it's mainline passenger debut on the Vintage Trains tour on Saturday through Whitacre, and on Tuesday 47826 & 47804 worked to Sailsbury, through Whitacre. I've suddenly started using Whitacre, and its not all...

Thanks very much everyone. I was gonna go for the standard shot from that bridge, but had to make use of the massive black clouds! Stormy skies always help make a photo more interesting.

Just a couple of photos from Monday. First is 37218 & 37607 with Mentor working to Tyseley from Derby, seen under very stormy skies at Washwood Heath. I had a great view of the storm which, for once, was a proper storm with forks everywhere. I think God was angry with Birmingham, especially...

Thanks for the comments! My thinking is, save up and get the best rather than buying mediocre lenses for less, then realising only L will do. Much as I did when I started, but it didn't take me long to realise:).

An update from the past several days. Wet days I should add! On Friday I visited the SVR just as something to do, and to my surprise, D1013 'Western Ranger' was out doing driver training runs, then the day after D1062 'Western Courier' worked its scheduled turns over the SVR. It was like a tiny...

http://mark-walker.fotopic.net/p58802110.html I like that shot alot. Excellent little locos they've got there, along with the scenery, even on a cloudy day!

Thanks very much!

Nice shots there. When did them cans go through Grendon? I was waiting for em' at Lichfield but gave up after a little while!

Not far from me when them 20's came past! Great shots.

Some great shots there. Unmistakeable Mumrar!

A few photos from recent excursions including 97301 at Whitacre, 57601 at Grendon, a pair of Cans at Atherstone, and 5x20's on the 0Z86 on the Sutton Park line. Random Oldie http://midlandrailpics.fotopic.net/p56363229.html > On a 20 theme... June So Far...

Nice area, apart from the inbreds:D

Is number 3 technically a sunset photo? Doesnt look very close to the horizon to me:)

Better watch yourself there with that comment Mumrar! So does it have to be taken on the platform or does the bridge over the station not count?

Couldnt agree more Swiss Toni & Pheonix. I want to know why the ban on editing was put in place to alienate us who edit before any kind of seperate competition was set up. All it's done is made me head elsewhere. I wonder where elswhere could be... Anyone heard this supposed announcement...

Legendary stuff yet again. It makes me wanna go there all the more!

It seemed pretty open to me! I just walked where I always do and the shot presented itself to me. Wouldn't go there in the evening though, unless you enjoy getting stabbed.

A quick update from a busy Saturday morning full of tours. Random Oldie http://midlandrailpics.fotopic.net/p27011109.html > 47851 at New Street Tours http://midlandrailpics.fotopic.net/p58611438.html > 86259 at Bescot http://midlandrailpics.fotopic.net/p58611439.html > 57601 at...

Nice shot of the Skip! Me and Scott were waiting at Old Milverton. We should have gone north thanks to the WCML's high tech pointwork.
