46444's Ivatts have been visiting Diddington recently,so here are some photographs I took. I wasn't happy enough with them to put them in my gallery, which is why they are here,as I thought the event was worth recording

46444 is a Bachmann Ivatt fitted with sound

46495 is a detailed Bachmann Ivatt by 46444. More details can be found in his blog. I built 46496 from the Comet kit before the Bachmann model was available.

Hi Alex,

 

Really good to see the Ivatts photographed in their natural setting-thankyou.

 

The picture of 46495/46495 together is remanisant of St.Ives with 46496 waiting to take a fruit train to Kettering. A lovely atmospheric shot that captures the line so well.

 

Good to 46444 (My namesake) making an appearance too.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark
