Steam Dreams to York Tues 22/10 60009 (Out) and 70013 (Rtn)

Hi all,

Just noticed on the Steam Dreams site that the 22nd Oct trip to York is now to be hauled by 60009 'Union of South Africa' on the outward journey and 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' on the return from York,should be a great trip once times are announced,two different pacifics over the ECML on a weekday isn't bad in 2013!

Cheers,

Might have to keep an eye out for that. I'm going to the football Tuesday so depending on what time the tour arrives back at Kings Cross I might get to see 70013 after the game.

 

'09 on the out, Filmed at Brookmans Park. Not my best for various reasons, but here it is.

 

Have to agree with you there Jeff!

I trust you made it to Bentley in good time? Nice to see you at Byfleet, me & Dave got back no problems..................

Anyway, here's my effort in less than ideal conditions, just up the line at Welham green........................ No.9

 

No 9 at Barrel Hill foot crossing accelerating away from the pathing stop at Carlton on Trent loop.

Nice power shot!

I did think of doing the same, but didn't fancy the "Crouching Photter, leaping tiger" thingy as it was persisting down at the time with the wet stuff coming straight at the lens..... I too got a wave from the Man himself after acknowledging the whistle!!

 

Good to see you both again, on my home turf too!
Yup, got there in plenty of time. the locos were there for a while, had a good chat with the crews. Video is on LE moves

 

Got a bit of decent light for a change..............70013 on return leg

 

Glad to here it, will look at the vid tomorrow, and Dave's!

 

Lucky Bugga, weather wise............................ Nice shot Stuart!! That's what it should have been Darn Sarf this morning, according to the forecast.........

 

Thanks Ralph, amazing what a difference a bit of decent light makes.

The sun always shines on the righteous!

 

Cheeky s o d ........................................

Typically the weather brightened down here AFTER the steamers had gone...................................................... sods law

 

You got lucky Stuart! We had that light about 5 seconds after the train passed... Seen passing Colton whilst driving home from work.

Simon and Stuart - excellent photos - thank you for the classic A4 putting the power down shot and the Brit in a perfect almost bottom dead centre pose. Great work guys - think it's time to hang the Box Brownie up for good.
