Wednesday 24/06/2009 - Brock & Preston
A morning spent at Brock, quite a lot of freight and general traffic up until 11 and it went quiet!.
Used a polarising filter today no special effects on photoshop or anything, it really brought the sky out well.
Network rail measurement train...

Collection 1: (All from cossington, just units)

I have started shooting in RAW wtih my canon 400d, and convert them to .jpeg with 'Digital Photo Professional' programme which came with the camera. However, the RAW images look amazingly sharp when opened on that programme but when I save it to a jpeg its no where near as sharp as it looks on...
In the easter holiday, Im planning a trip to Cholsey from Manchester anytime in the first week. Whats the cheapest way to get there? A straight mills hill to cholsey return would be £34.20 for me as I have an under 16 ID, Is this going to be the lowest price I get?
Ive tried splitting it...
06:00 start but it was all worth it!

Today at Crewe saw the unexpected convoy of class 60's going into Crewe DMD
http://gbrailwayworld.fotopic.net/c1619568.html
Are these going to be in here for ever? I do hope not, as 60 002 I learned today makes it stop snowing and turns the weather foggy and warm for a few seconds !

At the moment I have a Fuji FinePix s5800, and dont really like the results its giving me. Is the Canon 1000D a good camera to learn with?
I saw one in pc world, it has quite a big body which I liked. And what about the lens which comes with it, is this reasonable for railway photography?

As Doncaster has loads of freight + other stuff the station itself I find is crap for getting good photos. Are there any stations/locations outside of Doncaster station where there are good places to photo much of the freight? - Could do with adding some loco's to my album.

Managed to get some close shots of the class 180 as it suprisingly turned up at Manchester Victoria yesterday before 'The Christmas Cracker' arrived, training runs were in 103 and 106 I think, both passed Leyland in the fog too with horns 8)
Heres the album of Northern Rail's 180's.
Got some...
Anyone else noticed that EMT 158's always look dirty?
In comparison to northern's 158's, the majority of those are clean. Is this EMT's way of saving money? :p
A comparison...

Updates for the Class 153, 158, 170 and 323 are on TSC.
These have also been made compatible for OpenBVE.
I particulary like the 158 more than I used to now.
