Another couple of 'deep breath'  late evening shots at KX in January 1981 shortly after 55002 had been repainted BR Green.

I like the comparison in scale between the ship and the train.

 

They are a fair size when you look up at them from the dock side. It's nice walking round the docks and looking at all the inlaid track and very tight pointwork that's still in the concrete. Trouble is I end up walking round in a daze dreaming of what it would look like with wagons and 07's everywhere.

One from this evening with 37423 heading to Hither Green from Derby RTC.

Still shooting at ISO 25600 on this, but any higher I take it and the noise level goes up with it.  I think this is the highest I can stomach for such things on the move!

This is a shot I took at Strumpshaw fen when they were laying new track .I got the guys to count me down to the drop so I pressed the shutter at command rather than observation .

Ah! - happy memories of stressing jobs - and getting just close enough to the pot for a bit of a warm :nono:

 

Excellent picture :sungum:

Your photo sums up Willesden (that whole area of North London, actually) for me, Ian.

It's amazing the kind of things that make me feel homesick.......

 

Best, Pete.

Its funny how we miss what we dotn currently have.

 

When I see a really good shot of a train in the USA I wish I was there but yes if I were to move abroad I am sure I would miss plenty of things back here.... done my lottery tickets so I have a very tiny chance to get the best of both worlds... fingers crossed yet again!!

I have to say, it's getting rather addictive, this night time lark..... :)
