Fabulous day in the northern fells with the first WCME. 44932 makes a stirring sight and sound on the final climb to the summit at Blea Moor. Please note taken from a place of safety behind a fence pushing camera through gap.

One of the more memorable days up on the Settle and Carlisle. It's great to see such a variety of images. Our little happy band went to Selside Moor and then Nook farm, Shap village on the return, hopefully these give you a feel for the cold but beautifully lit kind of day it was.

Some wonderful lineside images on another cold day from The Settle and Carlisle Line. Hope everyone has managed to warm up after waiting for that train. Always good to see the less overgrown parts of the UK rail system.

Some fantastic images and videos all, really great start to the new year. Looking forward to my trip on the 11th - similar conditions please!

It was bitterly cold, the sky was clear and there was not the hint of a breeze and Oswald had spent over 10 minutes scraping the heavy overnight frost from the car - would it be worth it? I had decided on a new location - that used to be an old location before it became overgrown - the climb out of Blackburn towards Brownhill (and then onto Wilpshire summit. A recent housing development has opened up the vista again and the line can be seen for around a mile after it leaves the curve beyond Daisyfield Crossing.

Despite being there 30 minutes early there were already three hardy souls with video cameras set up and ready, there was room for another. Once prepared there was nothing to do but wait, chat, check RTT (and shiver). The dashboard thermometer showed -3.5C, the forecasts estimated a "feels like" temperature of 3 or 4 below this. Thankfully there was no wind and the sun was heading up above the horizon, but contributing nothing. After a few minutes a thin sliver of cloud, just wide enough to completely obscure the sun decided that it would do so.

The train was running around 3L at Cherry Tree, a few minutes wait and then in the distance the unmistakable sound of a steam locomotive as in drew its train INTO Blackburn station where it was due to pick up passengers. A couple of minutes wait and then a distant blast from a Stanier hooter - not long to wait. The cloud decided to move away and the sun, although on wrong side, did its best to brighten the wintery landscape. Some steam appeared over the trees to the right and then the loco appeared at the far end of the long straight. The exhaust filled the cold, still air as 44932 headed towards us. As she drew nearer the sun caught under each fold of steam producing a golden glow. She was moving at a pace and all too soon curved away and on towards the summit, 12 coaches following and the 47. 5L and 42mph (nothing from the diesel then - he joked!) It was worth it!

A great video from a great location.

But do I win the 'Spot the Trespasser' competition?

Must admit our hobby always gets fantastic results from all be it stills or videos with many folk travelling hundreds of miles so long may that continue.

A very cold and atmospheric Newsholme, followed by a well back lit Helwith Bridge due to the near half hour delayed restart from Hellifield.

I tried a bit of both. Had the 2nd camera set on the tripod, remote controlled via the phone, did three dry runs, looked and sounded great. Train getting close, switched on the mic. Heard the exhaust, started the camera. Got on with the stills. Train passed. Kit into the car and home. Dowloaded the images. Looked good. Sounded not so good.

My mic switch is obscured by a fake fur muffler (100% not needed today in the calm air) and when I thought I'd switched it on I must have missed the switch.

Back to school.
