That alliteration eh. How am I still single. Anyways, yes this weekend was a pretty good one with the very chaseable 'SLS Special' on Saturday seen from a few different viewpoints along with 'The Boot & Hoot' to boot. Then the Sunday was spent at the Churnet Valley for their 'anything...

I'm Back! Apologies for the lack of updates but here I am, back with the goods from Holland and a few more from England. Me and Scott took a trip on the Dutch-Flyer service from Chelmsford to Harwich, then onward by boat to Hoek Van Holland then to Eindoven for a few nights. With a Zomertoer...

Just a few from Monday. A trip to the East Midlands to see 1Q12 TnT'd by 37610 & 37611 on the Ivanhoe line. With our hopes still high and the sun still out we headed for Cossington proper to see the tractors again and a saloon working, but cus of a cable fire at Trent Junction, that all went a...

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...

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...

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...

Just a week late! My take on all this Eastleigh malarkey, along with all the accompanying tours from Clan line to Oliver Cromwell to The Wessexman (how many different names can they come up with for the same route?). Eastleigh was followed by a day at the SVR photting 50044 doing the rounds then...

A re-install of windows later and my pictures are finally up from the GCRn's Diesel Gala. Locos in attendence were 08114, 20154, 37248, 47292, 56097, 66731 & 73110. Unfortunatley the weather spoilt the day somewhat, as did that bloody grid which put the timings down a bit, but it was still nice...

I've been away from work for a week and seen plenty of tours during and after, hence the ridiculous title and my lack of description of everything I've seen, cus the list is too long! Heres my offerings from the last two weeks... Random Oldie http://midlandrailpics.fotopic.net/p23210187.html...

Wow. It's a monday and I've already got my shots up. An excellent day spent at the Midland Railway Centre with plenty to keep us occupied along with, what apparently is, a very rare occurence in preservation. Twin peaks 45041 & 45113 powered the penultimate train of the day. The following...
