RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted March 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2013 All the worst really, lens flare (Zenith E), grain (GAF 400asa) and not holding my breath too well. But, it's a Deltic at the Cross, 1976. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timara Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Some old-ish digital ones.... 37606/612 at Marylebone in 2005. 87022 at Kings Cross, waiting to head back to Wembley, having worked the Blue Pullman to Berwick and back in June 2006. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 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!

Glorious NSE Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Not enough light to stop the train, or sensitivity in the sensor to compensate, but here's one from Willesden Jcn on Saturday evening, on the way back from Ally Pally. Not perfect, but a certain ambience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

Timara Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 One from just earlier.... 66725 (with 66709 on the back) taking a Wellingborough to Harrow-on-the-Hill ballast working through Harpenden. Be nice to get that coming back in daylight over the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Another two Wellingborough-Harrow jobs... Nice to have all three from tonight in different liveries Metronet-liveried 66719 (with 66715 'Valour' on the rear) with 6Z64. At midnight, GBRf 66711 with 6Z61. Nothing on the back this time. I have to say, it's getting rather addictive, this night time lark..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
