Nothing much happening, no SVR trains for 6 weeks and too cold to stand around anywhere – but at least a Sunday train with a 68 up here.
A single photo in the gallery looks a bit lost, but it’s here if you want to see a larger version.
I’m sure this’ll do if you’re using a mobile:-
68008. 1H27 Kidderminster – Marylebone. Old Hill 07/01/18
I filmed for a few hours on three days, twice at Kidderminster and once at Arley. From the videos I have cropped some images so if you don’t want to watch Youtube videos you can look through the photos.
There are three video playlists:-
Kidderminster 02/12/17 – about 45 minutes
Arley 03/12/17 – about 45 minutes
Kidderminster 09/12/17 – about 50 minutes
To view the images on a mobile device then use the pages in this blog, start at the first page or choose the individual days – 02/12/17, 03/12/17 or 09/12/17.
If you prefer to view the larger photos, best on a computer, go to my gallery for the slide show. Click a thumbnail, then the intermediate image to view the larger images in a slide show, no descriptions added yet though!):-

Just noticed the blog has been going for nearly 9 years. There was a time when I only took photos, which were uploaded to my gallery and then linked to from here – time permitting of course. Then came videos, which were much more time consuming to edit and upload, and of course very few or poor “photos”, and the galleries were partially forgotten. Now with a 4K camcorder I can crop reasonable photos from the videos.
The plan for the future is take and upload videos, crop some photos from videos and upload to galleries – where the photos can be viewed on a pc. For people with a mobile phone the galleries were never so easy to view unless you knew how, but I can easily take a smaller photo from a gallery and include it in a blog post, as I have done in the last few weeks. I’ve certainly missed looking back at recent photos, perhaps that will change now – if I can keep up with all the new stuff. Only problem is all that from recent years…..

A few hours at Arley to film the Santa trains arriving and departing. The procedure is – train arrives, loco runs round to rear of train when southbound platform is clear and when stock is empty it is shunted towards Highley and then back into the other platform to form the next departure to Kidderminster.
A lot of photos from above video, so split into two pages.
