Locos in the snow

Of course. I like snow as much as anyone....as long as I can get home! A bit of snow like this can be fun..

 

Nice shot. Where and when?

 

23rd March '13 at Taplow I think?

 

Correct, my birthday and early morning. Here's another, further back (which I may have posted before!) It is snow you can see at the front end, not noise!

From the Icons of Steam Website : -

We are pleased to confirm that The Tyne-Tees Streak railtour has been redated and confirmed as running on Thursday, 5th December. This railtour commences diesel hauled at Bristol and continues to collect passengers en-route to York, where No. 4464 ‘Bittern’ will take over for a round trip from York to Newcastle. The train will return to Bristol diesel hauled.

All passengers booked on this train will be contacted about the new date by Pathfinder Railtours.

 

NAAAAH ! Call that snow ? Now THIS is Snow :

I've told her, twice, and I'm still alive. It coincides with a drinks party she was going to - but hadn't told me about it - so she'd have been out and about anyway on my birthday.

 

So - hopefully - in a fit of conscience she may even be persuaded to pay for your ticket as a birthday present ?

 

Doubt it. She coughed up for two premier dining seats behind Number 9 for my 60th last year.

 

Nah

This is snow

 

Oh no it isn't......................................... THIS is snow.................................. Lol!!

 

That's not snow. You can still see the loco.

 

Ever so sorry.....................................................

Will THIS one do?......................................................... Lol!!

 

Just as long as none of them are the wrong sort of snow.......

 

Causing a 91 to break down in front of 4464, you mean?

 

Nope. Can still see the loco.

 

Cheeky Sod!

Tell you what.......................................... I'll buy you a white crayon and give it to one of the lads at the NVR on the 19th............................. and then you can obliterate the loco to the desired effect!!

 

Some nice snow pics there!

Feel sorry for the loco crew.
