    Those came straight off my memory card tonight, I haven't had time to edit yet! Love the night shots, I try to either get there early or stay until after dark if I can but this time I had to start and end at Alton so that wasn't really possible. Although, I did get a few in almost darkness while waiting at Ropley for the delayed 17:15 from Alresford earlier!

    Very nice! The lighting was good late in the day, unfortunately I couldn't use it for the 9F run as I was at Hampshire Hunt bridge concentrating on the freight. Oh well, roll on the weekend!

    Only in the brain cell as NCIS is on the box & I'm playing with other images. :rolleyes:

    BTW with one of the Ivatt - there are two.......

    The light was certainly challenging today & the sun, well at least it came out!

    I was thinking exactly the same, as I think there were only 3 of us about at sunrise. :)
    I wasn't quite so early this morning...

    Good to see how neat the railway has been kept in your clips.

    Chawton Wood was very overgrown when I passed it last season. Has any clearance place in the area since? <BJ>

    Great show from the MHR yesterday, proving you don't need visiting locos to make for a good gala ! The conditions yesterday were superb. Hope you enjoy :)

    I wouldn't mind watching a few of these U tube videos but I find people make their video to long. I prefer watching videos around five to ten minutes long.
