Taken back in the days when trains only ran to Hampton Loade, 8233 is seen putting on a good display as it leaves Bridgnorth. I’ve noticed a few other photos with 46443 & 193, not sure if they were taken the same day – but I’m sure they’ll be uploaded sometime soon.

I travelled on this tour wwhich started from Bradford & ran to Carlisle via Shap, returning via Settle. 45593 hauled the final leg from Leeds to Bradford, not sure if I have a photo of that. I do have old photos of other BR locos, but not sure if they were taken on this day, something to work on in the future.

Another forgotten photo, probably the final open day at Longmoor. I do have a few more photos of it, also some of the other locos there. It will be a long job to go through all of them.

Haven’t used my scanner for years, but unpacked it a few weks ago & have started scanning old photos, negative & slides. I’ve forgotten most of the photos I took, the quality was awful a lot of the time. Had to borrow my Dad’s camera and sometimes photos weren’t printed & only had films developed – so couldn’t really study the results in great detail. Film was probaly slow speed as well, looking at fast moving trains they always came out blurred.
Checking the Railtour files – https://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/60s/680420bn.html it must have been taken at Bolton, as I have a poor shot of a pair of Standard 5s alongside the 8F.
