RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) A fairly recent portrait of something that wasn't a 313 or 377 up the Seaford branch. This was on the return trip from Seaford, with 33207 Jim Martin in the lead. It sat there quite a time as a set of facing points had to be clipped, before it could go into the Marine station. I think the special, to mark the 150th anniversary of the Seaford branch, had started at Victoria, run down to Seaford via Lewes. Having taken on water from a fire service bowser at Newhaven Marine, it then ran to Brighton with the diesel in the lead. Oliver Cromwell then took it forward to Eastbourne, where there was a break for sightseeing. It then proceeded to Hastings with 33207 leading. It again reversed there and headed up the SE line via Tonbridge. It was so popular that a second trip followed the next day with 44932 as the steam interest.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2016 Two from a trip to North Wales - these came out OK, but, if I can find the negs., there was a sizeable bunch, taken at Portmadog, that were double exposed with various shots, after we had returned to London. Ah! the romance of roll film! Oh well, they are potential entrants for Ooops gallery. Although the double Fairlie had no name or number plates visible it was established that it was the recently arrived David Lloyd George. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2016 Most preserved railways have little unsung heroes, they do all the shunting and moving ballast trains and the like usually when there are no passengers around to see them. This little chap is Moel Hebog on the Ffestiniog Railway. P1000839.JPG A predecessor of this chap is Moelwyn, which my Dad photographed in 1966. I appreciate that this does not comply with the 'Your own photos' rule, but it is good to record these backroom boys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, but it'd been a little more appropriate if it could could've been a product of what was the nearby GER railway works.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Nice, but it'd been a little more appropriate if it could could've been a product of what was the nearby GER railway works. It's all very 'developer' around there and I don't think it was on railway land - although that probably wouldn't have made a difference. I was on a day trip with 7 & 9 year-old grandchildren. I had discovered that Southern's flat rate fare for children of £2 can include a London Travelcard, so with my Senior Railcard, the three of us could travel to, around and back from London to Seaford for about £20. So we went to London Bridge - walked to Tower Gateway - DLR to City Airport to plane spot - up to Stratford International to see Eurostar and Javelins (the gates on the bridge over the centre of the platform were wide open so although our Travelcards didn't cover HS1 we got on the platform) then down to Greenwich and back to Blackfriars on a river bus*. DLR staff seem very customer friendly. My grandson got to give out a greeting on the PA system as we headed south from Canary Wharf. A bargain, rail orientated day out. *The river bus isn't included in the Travelcard, but you do get a discount of 20 or 25% I think.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2016 Photographing is tricky when working within a confined space with a large subject. The lighting in Steam was complicated by the number of bright lights that tried to get into shot. So this has been through the mill in Photoshop Elements, to try to sort out the perspective and reduce reflections. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 A favourite with many RMwebbers, I think. No. 1 at Seespitz, the upper terminus of the Achenseebahn, C. 1992. I gather that the damage done to No. 1 in the 2008 fire has been repaired since. That's Helen also in the picture - nearly five then.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted March 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) One of the best days out with a family - Amberley! I have no connection with the museum other than as a very satisfied visitor. Compared with the baby-buggy-ridden chaos that is the London Transport Museum, especially in school holidays, this is paradise.
