    Nice one, although a bit large on my screen so I have to look at it one bit at a time!

    You've done well to make the diesel look (well sort of!) like an extra tender.

    A Bulleid pacific taken from the Shortlands foot bridge by the waterworks?

    Here's one I took earlier, 34077 on a down express. Must be the first half of 1961 as the world between London Victoria and the Kent coast came to an end on 12 June 1961.

    Thanks. My aim was to get a head on shot to hide the diesel as best as possible, but also to focus on the main reason for capturing it (the discs and flags).
    Your photo from 1961 is very insightful. Shows how much that spot has changed over the years!

    I do like the Canterbury East sequence. A nice bit of railway infrastructure there.

    Is that taken from Oxford Road Path footbridge please. And did you have to stand on anything to clear any wire netting etc?

    It was the Oxford Road Path and no I didn’t have to stand on anything.
