Popular Post KNP Posted August 1, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) And now for the formal press release after those sneak pictures of yesterday. No idea how they got in or even who released them!!! 🤥 6818 Hardwick Grange pulls into Encombe Town station with the early morning express on her first working run on the main line. A life full of adventure and travel awaits this new addition as it steams its way up and down this route.

Popular Post KNP Posted August 6, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2023 Now this Grange picture was done by accident. I moved the tripod from the previous shot and just plonked it down ready to work out the next one. Glanced at the viewfinder and thought that looks different. So here is the accidental over the top of the trees shot of Hardwick Grange 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
