    Ditto.

    Can't control the wind though.

    How many others were there with you? It looks like a master phot spot. When the wind is blowing in the right direction!

    Glad you enjoyed it. There are plenty of duds in my collection, but they rarely get a public airing ;-) However, I do think digital capture has really helped to increase my success rate, when compared to film which I do still also shoot.

    I've just seen it going down passed Bradbury. Me and my dad were stood on a bridge going over the line, he got a brilliant video. I took a really bad picture, which I'll upload just because!

    Does that headboard not belong to the NRM, seen a few pics of the headboard on 4468

    I expect they have raffled it on board !!

    The headboard was carried by Tornado as it coasted through Welwyn North. Using a 50mm lens and f/2 at 1/800th at ISO-640, I just managed to capture a usable image, 29 minutes before sunset, if there had been any sun!

    Maybe it might be the latest time to get a shot with available light.

    Well it certainly went north of the border with "Gresley" on Saturday, proof.

    It's those Celts, "Gresley" will probably come back a 4-6-0. ;-)

    I'd be suprised if there was only one Corination headboard, i'd expect at least a couple of copies out there, one found it's way to the SVR with Gresley IIRC.
