Thanks James, weather was fantastic, it wasn't a dedicated railway trip but we managed to get a few shots towards the end of the day...it would have been rude not to!
Thanks Andrew, might get a quick shot of Sir Nige in the morning if the weathers ok but have other things going on for the rest of the day...enjoy Swanage
Thank you. It was quite strange to think that over 60 years ago I used to go to this station trainspotting. Certainly didn't see a Castle back then that's for sure😂
@@acw71000 That’s probably how I look at it too. (One of the toughest, if not the toughest firing turns was Paddington to Shrewsbury and return the same day on a King. Strewth!)
Thanks Nige. We knew it wasn't a stopper and we'd been keeping an eye on that unit on RTT and it was on time when we arrived at the station which would have been ok but then slipped a few minutes. Would have liked a clear view but that's the way it goes sometimes
Thanks John, it was a bit too close for comfort with the unit running late but fortunately it cleared in the nick of time. The Earl could be heard for over a minute powering away from Edge Hill
Thanks Steve, too close for comfort that I must admit. The platforms are long at West Allerton, going back to the days of steam but only a short length is in use these days so the vegetation has taken over. Very unsightly and doesn't present a good impression
It is and they're fortunate to be based at the KWVR. A great shame for the society as there were quite a few mainline trips planned for the loco his year
