The Foxfield Winter Charter, Dec 29th.

A few places still available for the traditional winter charter on Dec 29th. Always a good bash, this year with Giesel fitted Florence No 2 on Hoppers. Early start, early finish - the chaps bring thier own sun, thus we are sure to get something in the bag if conditions dont go our way at night.

PM me if you are interested.

See other thread for our part in "Cranford" to be screened on Dec 20th & 27th - Bellerophon features.

 

Just a big thank you to Glenalmond and the rest of the staff at Foxfield for another enjoyable charter at the Foxfield railway, especially the provision of the stove to huddle round.
Some good photos were obtained (despite the less than favourable weather) thanks to a strategically placed/arranged steam crane. The consist was varied with Minerals being used in addition to the Hoppers; and where else has anyone see a mineral wagon full of coal in preservation?

Here's looking forward to the summer gala, unless I can make it back before then.

Ben

 

Thanks for that - and dont forget the Robin !.

I would be interested in the crane shots.

Dont forget the summer charter in addition to the Gala.

 

Havent shared any photos on here before but here goes nothing.
Must admit the weather wasnt great. Looking forward to the sun for the summer gala. Your gonna have to come up with something special to top Backworth 47....

 

Paul,

Thanks for sharing those pics. Nice to see loaded sand hoppers as well

 

Hi and thanks for looking.
I quite like your shots as they are mostly timeless and I think industrial steam looks better in grotty weather.

Regards,

Paul

 

Auto Car, Cracking Snaps, proper Grubby Industrial Feel to it with the damp weather, the B&W one of the 5 there is my fav cracking shot, could fool me to thinking it was taken back 1960/70

 

Alway's something special !.
