LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2016

Do you mean my photo or someone else's video clip? (Post 179)

 

Canon 7D Mark II here but also have a 1DX for other photography.

 

It was the shot from Welham Green but I see from Flickr that it was a 7D.
I was just comparing the colour from that with an earlier posted shot and the differences are quite marked, both Canon and using the same lens I might add, must be the sensors.

ps. I'll swap you my 5D for your 1DX lol

 

Yes it was the 7D/2. Maybe not the sensor, more likely RAW conversion. Original colour balance but highlights/ blacks etc manually adjusted in LR.
The only way the 1DX is leaving is when is gets swapped for a Mark II

Collegue of mine at work who lives adjacent to the line between Reading and Newbury, heard a steam engine passing the back of his house in the early hours of this morning. It woke hime up!!

Was he dreaming or could it have been a DB light engine movement?

Spooky!

 

Test run for one of the Strategic Reserve....

 

Its the Phantom Kettle again!

We had 'sightings' last year (?) the Mrs saw it at Mortlake - somebody apparently even photographed it - I thought the Mrs had been at the cooking sherry until @steamvideosnet came forward with a report from a friend near Salisbury, I think.....................

Showed the Mrs every loco I could think of & it wasn't any of them.

 

Scotsman went past York webcam at 17-29 no diesel

 

It's reported elsewhere that there were more issues with trespassers in the Teesside area during 60103's move, with BTP involved. Certainly she went from RT in the Northallerton area to 17L at Middlesbrough.

 

Tornado moved to Didcot last night for their Easter gala weekend : http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U59868/2016/03/12/advanced

 

so why would you have the expense of a separate move, when you could get it most of the way there on a paying charter?

 

Think somebody has the fishing rod out here!!!

 

LMS 8P Class 4-6-2 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' ambles through Lancaster on single amber with overcast windy conditions en-route to Carnforth for
tomorrows 'Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express'

 

I don't know about speed restriction but they let a nodding donkey out of platform five for Leeds in front of the steam which didn't appear to be in a rush!!
