Hello guys, I decided, with permission from Ian, to try and lend a hand again with his Black 5 No. 45407 and further educate myself. I did a Thursday to Thursday shift which involved 1T57 and moving up to Scotland, and I have to say, it was great....and again learned a great deal more than I...

Hi, I thought instead of creating new threads every day or two for the photograph trips I've been taking this week, I thought I would sum it all up in one thread at the end of the week. Most of it diesels, as has become usual during the past month or two....but I am officially converting...

Evening all, had quite an adventurous day of photography today. Started off by catching an engineers train at Lumphinnans at 8.40am, the the Royal Scotsman at Aberdour at 2pm, and finally, caught the Midland Mainline HST again at Kiersbeath. As usualy, not everything goes to plan....while...

Some other shots from me today. Never realised that the ECS from Dundee to Craigentinny on Friday's was HST's via Cowdenbeath, which are in Midland Mainline livery, so deiced to go down to Cowdenbeath Station for these. Nowhere near great photos, but for a first time I just enjoyed the...

Hey guys, Not leaving much days between photos am I? Well, caught 6K16 Millerhill - Achnasheen ballast train today, which was hauled by EWS Class 37 No. 37422. Quite glad it was routed via Cowdenbeath, meant something different from the usual 158's and 170's! Some of the...

Hey all, A little trip to Bo'ness today, but not for anything normal. Today is Father's Day as you all know, and so the SRPS held it's usual Sunday Gala with LNER D49 No. 246 "Morayshire" handling the trains, stock being the two Thompson Teaks, and two Mark 1's. However, we're talking boys...

As some of you may be aware, I was out today for the two Fife Circle Steam Specials behind K4 No. 61994 "The Great Marquess" on the lower half of the Fife Circle. However, plans did not go as planned, which meant me having to make a new game plan....to cycle to as many locations I had planned...

In height of the re-opening of the Stirling - Alloa branch for passenger service on May 19th, the SRPS ran a series of shuttles today between Alloa and Stirling, being the first public passenger trains to come from Alloa in 40 years! The trains were top and tailed by Ex-LNER K4 No. 61994 "The...

Hi Guys, I would probably prefer to do this in seperate posts for each of the seperate runs I've seen of the tour, but instead to save hassle, doing it in a oner. I have to say, a brilliant tour....hours are very difficult for all the crews involved though, but despite the problems which...

Hi all, Well, after a short spell down South at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, A4 No. 60009 "Union Of South Africa" returned North to Thornton in preperation for The North Briton tour this weekend. I had oringally planned to go down to the Forth Rail Bridge and see the Engine and POB...

December has come....and like most heritage railways in the UK, the Bo'ness Santa Specials started again this weekend. And as per usual, I went along for a few photographs....and as per usual, lighting was not great. This time of the year can help acheive great, atmospheric photos. Yet...

Some photos from yesterday's tour which ran from Manchester to Blackburn and back. Not my usual sort of photography, as you'll normally find me linesiding....but this time I was onboard instead. It was ashame about the 2 hour delay of the turning of the Standard 4 at Castleton East Junction...
