few photos from last year with 12" RSH Sir Cecil A. Cochrane visiting from the Tanfield Railway.

if anyone is intersted in the night shoot please give me a email.

cheers.

 

I will be there and looking forward to it.

Nothing like seeing and hearing (often with an echo) the coal trains pound up that bank.
A shame that locomotion No.1 is staying in the yard and not attempting the bank :lol:

Can I just try and encourage people to visit. If you dont come it might not be repeated, the Bowes runs steam infrequently enough as it is. To my shame I havent made many previous events.

For photographers there are great views of coal trains climbing the bank and rounding the curve/embankment at the top. For those who like to ride its hard to beat a trip in a breakvan up the climb with locos working really hard.

Regards,

Ben

Ta for linking my photos from Bowes. Was a great event and i enjoyed every minute.

 

Must get back up there soon - last time I went I was blown away by the rope haulage equipment, and I live in hope that someday wagons will roll back past Blackhams Hill.
John Young is a real hero for what he achieves with so little.

 

well Blackmans Hill Hauler is getting outside work done on it atm...should of taken a pic.

 

Looks like a great event - some lovely weather and some interesting lighting on the night shoot. Haven't been to Bowes for a couple of years now so will try to get there for an event next year.
