Peter Kazmierczak Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 You know the feeling. You're waiting for the "special" when something comes along the other way. Poole this lunchtime. 45231 approaches with a Victoria - Weymouth special, as a Cl.444 heads the other way towards Waterloo. Feel free to post any "bowled" pictures here.

Guest spet0114 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ah, the Sterte Rd bridge - scene of many a wasted adolescent hour..... Youtube has many fine examples of folks getting bowled. I couldn't find the one I had in mind (that involved an HST and an A4, IIRC), but this is equally good.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khZwcyXyoVc CheersAdrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taigatrommel Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Poole this lunchtime. 45231 approaches with a Victoria - Weymouth special, as a Cl.444 heads the other way towards Waterloo. Though you may consider yourself bowled, personally I think it's quite a picture, full of action and balanced. If it had been slightly wider you could have got the whole steam loco in, but, hey, like it regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sort-of bowled: the empty coal train (stationary) blocked my planned shot from the other side, so I moved over and decided last minute to go creative with a low shutter speed. At 1/45th, not quite low enough to make it look deliberate, and managed to catch a distracting flock of birds top right too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Boco_D1 Posted September 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2015 Sometimes I think the drivers do it on purpose, I had two 67's on a measurement train that I stuck in highworth loop before sending back out to Kemble. The spotters on the platform where blocked by a hst on platform 4 so waited for the 67's to return to go back down, at the same time I let out a merehead empties that stopped at platform 4 for the signal. The 67's cam into platform 3 out of view of the spotters and stopped for no reason and then waited until the stone train began to move off before it started again completely out of sight of the spotters, I swear the driver did it on purpose.

RMweb Premium rab Posted September 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2015 I remember nearly being bowled when preparing to video City of Truro on its anniversary run at Wellington. I got there in plenty of time, found what I thought was a good location, got everything set up then sat down to wait. While I was sat there a down train went past, and I realised I was on the wrong side. If that had happened when 3440 passed I would have been bowled. Fortunately I had time to relocate to the other side of the line before City of Truro went past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted October 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thought I would try a picture blind over the wall at Bury today. There's a Spam in there somwhere.
