    Nice set John...I know you didn't get sunshine, but you have made it all very atmospheric and therefore credible and authentic!

    It is a nice set John despite the weather, photography everywhere has, to be polite, been somewhat challenging this month.

    Last time I saw 30925 in BR green was at Dinting in 1977 in cleaned up ex BR condition, looks a pretty good job. One for the 'to do' list for next year !

    Thanks Scott, it was a b/w day really . There are a couple of Timeline charters in February which should be better as the line will be reopened through to Alton by then

    Hello John, yes, excellent images and hopefully I'll have a couple of reasonable shots myself as well! Really enjoyed the day despite the 'challenging' conditions. If it was always full sunshine it would be boring!!
    Best wishes, Andy

    Thanks Andy, probably the best times were the early morning mist and the night shots, good of the weather to provide a short shower to make the platforms wet. I could have done without the task of digitally removing the station Christmas decorations though!
