Steadfast Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) A little bit of recent tractor-age from me. Glinty Welsh Tractor by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 37421 waits time at Cardiff Central before departing with 2R20, the 17.01 departure to Rhymney. Soggy tractor at Hengoed by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 37418 calls at Hengoed on it's journey from Cardiff to Rhymney with 2R20. This could be heard all the way from Ystrad Mynach and the racket it made was a fitting send off for probably my last shot of the Rhymney tractors. The warmth of the car was very welcome after today's wet antics, which nearly killed the camera and two lenses. Long live the airing cupboard! It's alive! by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr As the sun sets over Westbury, 37612 erupts into life. Fired up from the DBSO, three hours later the set would be heading for Derby as 3Q21. Quite happy with this for a phone shot, admittedly one that's been through Photoshop! One of the benefits of being paid to play with the big train set is that I'm allowed to go to work in this lock down, so hopefully those unable to get out and about are able to enjoy viewing the occasional shot from this side of the fence.
