Only three pics, but more will come soon, when the weather improves

You can hardly see any of the trains properly?! Maybe a better location is needed...

 

[D306]

Thats what I was thinking actually. I found a better place and would have gone there, but I would have had to go through a really muddy field, where those pics are from a bridge area. But as I have said, when the weather gets better, I'll go to this location and picture them from there

Sounds like your other location might be better.

The shot with the gantry might be alright something like a long exposure shot.

 

[D306]

do you mean the one with the 66?

 

[Craig]

Yeah

 

[D306]

ok, as I've already said, when the weather improves, I'll go back out, to this new location and get some pics

 

[D306]

A. I'm back onto the forum again, after problems with my internet connecting to the server
B. New pictures have been added into the collection, with sunshine. Have a look

 

[devon_metro]

Can I recommend you don't use that location, its not very good!

 

[D306]

which one. The one with sunshine or the one with dark skies?

 

[me123]

The last two are at nice angle in my opinion.

http://www.trainspots.co.uk/locpage.php?ts_number=840 should be very near to your location at MP56. Looks reasonable for up phots, would recommend the 1700-1800 spell once its light enough.

A few others in the area linked on the left hand side all got maps etc...worth a nose

there are loads of location near to you mate try castlethorpe (north end, exit of village on the road to hanslope) there is a field that normally has highland cows in if you follow down the side you have a good shot of trains approaching in the up direction.

 

[D306]

yeah, I do know about that field (mainly as I go past it each day I go to school and home) and I know the farmer who owns that field as well. I can ask him, but remember that it is private land.

 

[westcoaster]

fair enough try near ashton neutral section as well, on the bend on the up side you can see trains approaching in both directions

 

[D306]

I will try again soon, when I have a free weekend. I'm going out and about on the MML in the Beds area soon

on stations or lineside, just north out of bedford on the a6 there is a layby right next to the line which would be good, or just north of amptill tunnel there i an overbridge that is good as well
