Thanks for the info Sun Chariot - I never paid much notice to DMU's back in the 1970's and 1980's, apart from the 3 car units we used to get at Didcot - and I never took a photo of one (except when something else was in the picture - see http://jinksarchive.fotopic.net/p58648921.html

Well done Curly42 - a very evocative pic. My pic of the overhauled DMU's was one of the very rare occasions we saw DMU's between Didcot and Swindon - there was no local service (thanks Dr. B.) and probably the only time they traversed this route was to/from Swindon for overhaul - which we...

This is one of the most difficult competitions in ages because the subject matter and location of no 2 is really unusual and well taken but number 8 has been executed superbly. Several of the others are worthy contenders too. But because of the quality of the shot, it's number 8 for me.

This one is 11368 - nice record of these little engines

Well done Matt - you got my vote!

Neither am I now!

Wahay, I won - thanks for the votes guys!

D11-D137 !! Old enough to remember some green 47's and 20's, bored by yet another 50, excited by yet another 52!

Awesome! What atmosphere, and how well you have captured it - brilliant!

About 60 new photos on my site, including: 56101 on the move from Eastleigh to Carnforth Serco 73's T&T DRS convoy, 37603 and four 20's Clan Line and the rest! http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/c1853403.html http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/c1853417.html

There are plenty on eBay under a tenner, though the quality won't be the highest.

37087 on 6Z25 stoneblower move. Sounded great - pity it's a photo! http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/p64485264.html

How does No 4 qualify for this competition? - it's not what I would call 'single track'

Signal Art: (that sounds really pretentious!) http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/p64426926.html http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/p64426925.html http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/p64426923.html Other recent stuff: http://jinkssrailways.fotopic.net/p64426920.html...

Spent a day looking around Buckinghamshire at the old GC/Metropolitan/GW lines west of Princes Risborough and Aylesbury. Disused line from Ashendon Jct to Grendon Jct, GC line at Calvert, LNWR Oxford-Cambridge line at Claydon Jct and finally stoipped off at Tring for some sparky action...

Don't be too downhearted. Quite often those judging don't worry too much about the technicalities of a photo but the subject instead. Looking at your photo (and believe me, I'm not an expert), I would say the following: 1) quite good colour 2) tops of lamposts chopped off. 3) cropped too...

Shame. My old school was built hundreds of years ago but it's not on the mainline.

Once again, the minority spoil things for the majority. Hopefully the society has the funds and manpower to rebuild it.

It's an A2/3 I think - check the washout plugs on the firebox sides and the position of the cylinders behind the bogie truck - can't make out the number but the nameplate looks like it extends the full width of the smoke deflectors which would probably make it 60500 'Edward Thompson' It's...
