    A fantastic day had today, with the forecast rain holding off until we were finishing our last shot at 6pm. Having something face Peterborough was a welcome change and enabled some new shot opportunities to be presented. As ever, a huge thanks to those planning and running these events.

    @Wagoniester beat me to it (a pleasure chatting yesterday, as always), but following a fantastic day yesterday on the Last Standard 2 freight photo charter, here is the report on the final couple of weeks of roof work and charter prep. Loads of great pictures appearing on social media making all the effort seem worthwhile!

    Here are a few of my quickly grabbed snaps from the charter and Josh and myself on the final roof tidy up session.

    The last few sessions have been fairly low key, mainly concentrating on tidying and reorganizing stuff at Overton, a little bit of 60s re-enacting in Nene Park with the road vehicles (which meant a grocers delivery bike for yours truly!), and a shunt which brought more of the remaining freight stock to Overton (which currently looks rather on the full side!).

    Tuesday saw a tanker swap with a second tar tanker arriving at NVR from Llangollen and bitumen tank wagon 5181/64170 departing NVR for GWSR after being stored in Wansford tunnel for many years.

    This is all exciting stuff, Stu! As you know, I have a "thing" for tank wagons and have recently added yet more Hornby Dublo examples to my collection and now, some Trix Twin ones too!

    I need Dublo examples of the Peterborough Tar wagons now - maybe an overlay for scruffy Dublo ones? :D

    Haven't been to the NVR for a long time now: maybe I should come down soon.
