    Many thanks must go to Jon Bowers and the loco crews for an excellent charter today with the Dukedog, minus nameplates. 2 short clips will follow soon that I took with my Pentax K7 DSLR.

    Nice collection Paul wish I'd have known about that one! The dukedog is a lovely engine. Have'nt got many shots of it I'm afraid.
    No doubt we will bump into each other somewhere soon!
    All the Best RICK

    Hi Paul,
    Nice set there, i always feel a mixture of sun & cloud makes for the best weather on a charter, wall to wall blue all day lacks any real detail bar the beginiing and end of the day.....for me any case!

    Best shots for me are the glinty ones.....She does look good in Black!

    Cheers
    Jon.

    A lovely set of images from our charter. I think for me the best shots of the day were the reflections taken at Treemains. Sounds a shame that Jon can't get a charter organised with the Fairburn Tank now but I'm sure he's got plenty of ideas coming up in the Autumn with 34059, B473 and 1638.

    Cheers

    I'd like to see 34059 with the Bulleids, the Pullmans and a PMV, trying to recreate a boat train. Full Golden Arrow regalia of course.

    Glad those who attended enjoyed themselves. I do indeed have some plans involving 34059 and others, so if anyone would like to join my mailing list for future charters, please see this link:
