A sunnier day and 5 trains filmed, 34053 seen twice.
I was lucky to get “Arley” in this shot of D8188

We didn’t stay long today, think it was cooler & only 4 trains filmed.

I do wish I could do all these postings in order, or at least in the order I add the images to the gallery – but it will never happen. It was a Bank Holiday Monday, the weather was fine and 6 trains were filmed.
My favourite – 1501
This is the one working with a Class 67 that I can easily see going up through Old Hill. The downhill runs are less interesting. 1H38 runs from Kidderminster to London Marylebone.
Almost 11pm and very dark, and it was moving pretty fast – not surprising with such a light load. The return run to Stafford of a railtour which had steam from Westbury to Plymouth & back to Bristol.
To be honest, I didn’t see which loco was leading & the video isn’t clear either!
Another dark shot of this train slogging up the bank at Old Hill. Think I’ve got the manual focus setting right for this sort of shot now. Nothing is too blurred & I can read the loco number as it passes. I don’t normally go for the late shot of this train on a weekday, but a railtour with 47s was due half an hour later!!
Always too dark for the loco, but you can read Stobart on a container!
