Wasted Weekend : GCR Sulzer Weekend & 31105

[wensley]

Not the best of weekends, very patchy cloud interspersed with bright sun. Some frustrating time spent lineside with only one good one to show for it!

GCR Class 27 D5401 rattles away from Lougborough in the sun this morning

And having almost not got the camera out of the bag...a record shot of 31105 on 1Z05 yesterday

Comments welcome. The cloud has bubbled back up again here so that might be it for the day...although GCR may be worth a look for later

I like the shot of the 31 with the mixed cloud. To be fair it gives a more realistic shot of our railways which for the vast majority of the time are not basked in sunshine!!

I'm not sold on the 31, I know we can't expect glorious weather in the UK at all times...but it's very frustrating to stand in full sun and that inevitable dip as the train rounds the bend!


And a new one with some more sun...

One from this evening, the most surprising patch of the sun for the year!! Double headed 26+25 bound for Loughborough
