Update 195. 37906 & 7812 at Bewdley, 17th September
Wasn’t planning on taking any photos, as the locos would be “backwards”, but was surprised when 37906 arrived on a GW set. I was eating my lunch at the time, but rushed out with a camera and managed a shot, slightly under-exposed though. Seems it was on a “Footplate Experience”. 7812 was also photographed. The other steamer was 5764, which was already in the station when we arrived.
Two for the price of one here:-
Didn’t do so well with the photos today, had accidentally altered one of the settings on the camera. That’ll teach me to take my reading glasses with me!
Update 194. A few hours at Derby, 10/09/09, including 37059, 37609 & 31465. Also 66039, 66053, 66172, 66187, 66514 & 66728
After seeing the 56 & 47s at Burton, we headed for Derby, to see the DRS 37s on the test train which was travelling lines in the area. A bonus was 31465, totally unexpected.
It made a change to see the East Midlands livery, which is not seen in the Birmingham area. Even the 222 units were a change from the usual Arriva or Virgin Voyagers.
The bonus shot:-
