    Another belter Steven, I don't think that you need to be hung up on getting B & W right.......

    Your Shap photo demonstrates that a very familiar and much photographed location can be seen with fresh eyes and turn up something special. Thankfully, there are photographers - and that includes some of our video brethren - who are prepared to put in the work to find a different perspective on the familiar and it's always a pleasure to see some of that work shared with us here on this forum, keep at it Steven.

    Cheers

    Alan

    Today's winter cme has departed London ontime.

    For those on our little Nat pres get together we have been rehoused to carriage F... K is the BSK today and is shy in seat space... Pity as K was next to the loco.
    Carriage F is the TBO (tourist buffet open) recently converted.
    86259 upfront , 57313 is today's stock monkey.

    What was the problem with sitting in coach k? I have seats in that coach next Saturday as all three are facing the same direction I am expecting it to be in a compartment.

    Coach k is a 1st class BSK with 4 compartments, not 5.

    No sign of john smiths today, tea and diet coke is all I've seen thus far ...
    I will monitor the situation in case a rogue fosters suddenly appears

    The Yorkshireman amongst us just paid a fiver for four strips from a blonde

    See if he gets lucky on the way back.

    Ralph would only buy 1.
