What a month! Jobs to do in the garden, a faulty camera lens, a big bill from the garage to get the car through the MOT test (but there’s a story to that!) I could do with a break!!
I’m sure I’ve missed some photos somewhere. Every winter I think I’ll catch up with everything – but it never happens.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day…….
This was the first service train to be hauled by the 9F since arriving at the SVR, on loan from the Mid Hants Railway. The weather forecast was poor & sure enough, when 92212 approached chimney-first, the rain started! D821 was on a Diesel Driving Experience and 5164, 42968 & 43106 were working the other trains.
The rain doesn’t show in this smaller photo….
It was the SVR 1940s Weekend and a fly-past was expected over the Railway. Finding a suitable spot with the sun behind me, I waited for a ‘plane to appear. Originally, three ‘planes were listed as appearing, but on the day there was only the one, but it did fly over twice.
In previous years with the smaller ‘planes, they seemed to be gone within seconds, but the Lancaster seemed to be flying much slower and it was easier to photograph. Unfortunately, much of the underside of the ‘plane is in shadow, but I am pleased with the photos.
Where is the time going to? The weeks are going by & I’m getting further behind!
Sometimes I can’t be bothered to take photos, then I see the loco has a headboard & out comes the camera! 46443 was seen on one of the trains at Bewdley & 5164 on the other.
This train at least had the loco running chimney-first:-
