@NewtonBria81614 Thanks - it’s a long drive for one photo - but I’m very happy with it!

Is there a finer place to watch trains than the Teignmouth sea wall?

@LindaMBayliss Sounds a lot like my childhood!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

Happy place 😎

@CalSleeper @lokiavivson That’ll be if you can find somewhere to sit down in rhe lounge… standing room only when I used it

[50039 @Implacable_39]

I find Loughborough Central a wonderful place to photograph.. D6700 waits to lead the next southbound train, whilst 37714 waits to depart with the mixed freight at the recent diesel gala

Tulyar hiding at Loughborough during the recent diesel gala…
So pleased to hear she has had her first test run today - can’t wait for the proper return to service - last time for me would have been around 1987 at the SVR!

@randomdude634 That looks awesome!

@cmpd_date @Captain_Deltic @JoeBrownLondon @beeranddiesels I saw it at the SVR last weekend - it’s really well done!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

@ukrailadventure @Scotts_trains I was there last month - I was genuinely shocked how close we were!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

Gentlemen… start your engines!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

@BrianNe08342467 Lovely location again - haven’t seen that one before 👍

[50039 @Implacable_39]

@Bennybizzle1 @svrofficialsite @Andym13 @holtona72 @MrDeltic15 @thesatnav89 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @kingy69beard I’m going Friday

[50039 @Implacable_39]

@holtona72 They certainly did!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

Having had 45118 through a few minutes earlier, the early start also yielded 37175 and 37425 on an overnight 3Q66 Norwich to Derby RTC - not a bad 15 minutes on the WCML!

@BrianNe08342467 Striking is a good word for it - breath of fresh air down here!

[50039 @Implacable_39]

I’ve never been a gan of the Meridians or Voyagers for that matter, but 222601 in the new Lumo livery looks stunning - seen here powering through Cheddington with 5Z00 Stirling to London Euston

[50039 @Implacable_39]

Sometimes it’s worth getting up early at the weekend…
Lovely surprise to have 45118 on the English Riviera Express today, 1Z07, 05:52 from Northampton to Kingswear, seen here passing Tring
