bigd Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Rick skateboard, I like the 8F on passengers. Have you considered cropping the shot, to give the engine more impact? I really planned to post a steam in the snow shot today. I went out to see 44871 on its move from the ELR to Carnforth. I waited at Euxton till two oclock, and then had to return to the office. According to posts elsewhere, it must have sailed through 10 minutes later. So all I can post is modern traction. First the southbound mail with 325015. Next a filthy 66166 on a northbound car train. By the sound of it, the last wagon had square wheels. A Pendo, kicking up the snow, heading north. Finally, the northbound mail with 325011. Another chance to get 44871 in the snow tomorrow, as its doing a loaded test run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

revengeofthecat Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 But here's one some from a slightly different, but by now familiar, location Rick, were you still there on the 26th? Might have run into you without realising it! (P.S. final pic taken @ ISO 6400) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn-on-the-platform Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I remember seeing photos of the terriers double heading in the early 00's. They were on the bluebell website. But when I was looking for them (the reason for starting this thread!), I couldn't find them again. Thanks for all your contributions so far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltedsignaller Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hello everyone! Something I have always wanted to do is take photos of steam trains in the snow. I have never really had the chance, especially with the recent lack of snow. 2009's snow would have been perfect, but it came on a Sunday night and had all but melted by the next weekend, and which railways run a steam service during the week in February? Very few I imagine. I have had a scout of the internet, looking for snowy Bluebell Railway photos in particular and was suprised at how hard it was to find anything! So I came up with the idea to start a thread for people to contribute their own wintery railway photography. Perhaps some anecdotes as well! If all goes to plan, this thread could turn into a great little album! Little did you know what winter weather lay ahead for us in the following two months, starting the day after you had made this request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn-on-the-platform Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Snow is on its way according to the BBC! My understanding is that it won't be the crippling kind of snow that we had at christmas that, in the South East atleast, only steam could cope with, but even a dusting of snow would surely enhance any railway photo? I'm hoping that this thread will continue to be as successful as it was earlier in the year. Please keep it in mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2016 Just a handful from Dad's albums. He never strayed far from home in adverse weather conditions. So three are from Highbridge and the fourth is from Malvern, when he was staying with his sister. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

upneysidings Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Loved those recently added WR shots. Very tasty IMO. Now, I wonder if anyone can help me with the attached shots. I've owned the negatives for about 8 years and I actually had the images on my erstwhile Fotopic site together with the question, "Does anyone recognise the location?" but nobody came up with an answer. The photographer is known to have lived near or in Cambridge and these shots were probably taken in that area. It's obviously snow clearance in January 1947 and the two attached images show the only buildings in the four negatives that I have here. The locomotive which I used to think was a Fowler 4F is actually more likely to be a J17. Thank you for viewing these images which I shall also post on the LNER Forum in due course. Rgds, Mike M.
