CORONATION 2 16 -18-MAY

Ta Swiss Toni

Was not really fussed about the smoke, just as the A4 passed a NatEx passed, was VERY lucky to get a pic

 

No.9 crossing the Forth Bridge in sihouette this evening. The sun was doing it's best to keep away the clouds advancing from the south.

STUNNING shot Paul. Do you ever take duds ? LOL

Ditto.

Can't control the wind though.

How many others were there with you? It looks like a master phot spot. When the wind is blowing in the right direction!

 

Im sure there was about 10 or so people up next to me, but i was there 1st :-D

But others who were down the other side of the platform got caped by a NatEx HST

 

Glad you enjoyed it. There are plenty of duds in my collection, but they rarely get a public airing ;-) However, I do think digital capture has really helped to increase my success rate, when compared to film which I do still also shoot.

 

WOW! Brilliant picture =D>

 

I've just seen it going down passed Bradbury. Me and my dad were stood on a bridge going over the line, he got a brilliant video. I took a really bad picture, which I'll upload just because!

 

2 mins late passing doncaster.

Went to Thirsk to see 60009 with the Edinburgh to York leg and what did they do, only routed it down the slow lane! ](*,)

After a quick sprint this was all I got..........................b******s!



and where's the bloody headboard gone?

Passed Peterborough 1 Late, currentley on Slow line nr Sandy (20.00)

 

Trundled over Digswell viaduct at 20.26. No exhaust, no light, truly terrible photo!

 

Does that headboard not belong to the NRM, seen a few pics of the headboard on 4468

I expect they have raffled it on board !!

The headboard was carried by Tornado as it coasted through Welwyn North. Using a 50mm lens and f/2 at 1/800th at ISO-640, I just managed to capture a usable image, 29 minutes before sunset, if there had been any sun!



Maybe it might be the latest time to get a shot with available light.

all 4 a4's had the headboard's on last july for the lineup at the nrm.

Well it certainly went north of the border with "Gresley" on Saturday, proof.

It's those Celts, "Gresley" will probably come back a 4-6-0. ;-)

 

I'd be suprised if there was only one Corination headboard, i'd expect at least a couple of copies out there, one found it's way to the SVR with Gresley IIRC.
