Any chance of light engine moves, trying to capture tornado on its way as i have to work. cheers in advance.

 

I will catch this at the Norwich end, first time I have seen the engine aprt from a 30 second glimpse at York 31st jan 2009.
I have lived in steam engine poverty!

 

Arrived on time and left on time , nice day out

Was good. Friend got in the cab.

How did you get in the platform, buy a ticket to brundal gardens?

Just said im here for the steam train and he let me on. Nice pictures though.

 

Sometimes the simplest approach works!

 

Might try that next time, depends on the person I guess

 

Ive never had to buy a ticket to get onto the platform at Norwich, as long as u show knowledge that u want to go and see the steam loco aka not wearing your hoodie up looking like your trying to sneak onto a train, but with camera in hand and use the name of the loco they should let you on ive never had any problems of them saying no.

Heres some of my photos was a great afternoon, managed to visit Tornado's cab and sit in the drivers seat too!

While standing on Carrow Road bridge to watch her depart that was a little suprise when i turned around to see a Traction Engine coming up the road from the football ground!! not somthing you expect to see in the city centre during the start of rush hour!!

rest of my photos from Tornados visit can be seen here: http://georgesrailwayphotos.fotopic.net/c1854743.html
