    I do as well, but I would not expect any railway to think about what we photographers may like on a non gala day. Although I still remember an SVR Gala where I waited for No 9 which had gone into Kidderminster tender first and when it did appear...

    Quainton were trying to get me to gift aid last time I went there, although of course they do not really have "a journey" just a ride, so probably different rules apply

    I assume you meant that in jest. Why would the (any) railway bother to turn locos for the benefit of photographers.?

    You could follow up with a "derelict railways" weekend then an early preservation weekend and culminate in a "festival of complaining" where apparent enthusiast arrive to complain about the fact there are too many people/wrong colour of engines...
