    A very enjoyable day's photography was had on Monday 28th September 2015 with ex-GWR 2884 class 2-8-0 heavy freight locomotive no. 3850 and some goods wagons, thanks to owners Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd, the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, Martin Creese of 30742 Charters and some excellent Autumn sunshine. A set of images from the day are now on my Zenfolio website at: - http://mickrogers.zenfolio.com/p558224990

    Thanks also to the GWSR volunteers who crewed the train.
    Cheers,
