august 2008
1st August 2008

My first shots in August are of Deltic 55022 working 1Z55/1Z56 Crewe to Sheffield and back. The first two pics are taken from Weaste road, a bridge over the railway near Eccles. The next three pics are at Sheffield. The weather was crap but it was about time i shot a Deltic on the mainline!!!
Then i had a trip on the Scarborough spa express to the said seaside resort. 70013 Oliver Cromwell provided the power, the glory and the disapointment! the stock derailed on points while shunting at Scarborough, thus cancelling the return run to york. Never mind, a fun day out regardless!!!
Before work on Saturday the 23rd, 33025 and 33207 were shot near Abbotswood junction working 1Z33 from Crewe to Weymouth. Then a brief visit to the Severn valley railway to shoot 37906.
Tuesday the 26th saw the sun disappear after illuminating many units at Kings Sutton, before 57303 lead 1Z96 past on the diverted northbound mail run. The next day after work had a short visit back to Wadborough to shoot 6233 Duchess of Sutherland on a cathederals express. i elected to do a 'wrong side of sun' shot as there was none of the shining stuff to be seen. And did a pan aswell!
The month ended with a visit to the sea wall at Dawlish and my first trip on the Paignton and Dartmouth railway in order to see the Dartmouth royal regatta. Another great day, although the sun made about as much of an effort to appear as Berbatov in a Spurs shirt!!!
