I went over to the KWVR on Monday to travel on the Mince Pie trains, hauled by Std 4 75078,

Dmu 144011 was also working the diesel roster

First stop was Haworth shed yard where 41241, 52044 & 78022 were visible

i went back to Oakworth from Haworth to pick up 75078

then on to Oxenhope

On the way back to Keighley behind 75078 i dropped lucky with these photos taken on the approach to Haworth shed, tried this view before and not got it right before

After arriving back at Keighley i then did a full round trip behind 75078

I travelled down to the SVR Winter Steam Gala on Saturday 3rd January 2026 on a very cold day, but superb clear blue skies
Steam locos working the Saturday gala were
LMS Stanier Mogul 13268,
Collett Hall 4930 Hagley Hall,
Collett Manor 7802 Bradley Manor,
Collett 1400 1450 on the Auto Train,
Collett 5700 0-6-0PT 7714,

Best location for photos for me considering the very low sun was at Bewdley in the mid afternoon

Photos also at Highley

and Kidderminster in the morning

I have added a new collection of 35 photos of the EM1 & EM2 electric locos.
Originally envisaged by Nigel Gresley at the LNER only one loco was built due to the outbreak of the Second World War LNER 6000. After the war this loco was shipped to Holland and gained the nickname 'Tommy' and is seen here at a unknown location in Holland
Once back in the UK it was officially named Tommy and renumbered 26000

The new build electrics were in the 26### number range
starting here with
E26005 at Guide Bridge

Later they were classified Class 76
including this photo of mine taken after the locos were withdrawn stored at Guide Bridge
76041 & 8 other locos

76012 at Reddish shed

The EM2's were used on passenger duties

Up the creek
1366 - 32 is, I think, Buckfastleigh.
Incidentally, at Weymouth it is Quay, not Docks.
