In not the best lighting conditions (they never are on this stretch of the WCML at that time of day). The Earl is seen racing along the gently rising gradient between Stafford and Crewe at Sytch Lane, Mill Meece, with the Mersey Express to...

Another spectacular 5043 performance as it headed the Mersey Express today; once again full marks to all at Tyseley for another unassisted run with 47773 on the rear just making the Earl even louder...footage outbound from Clive Green just south...

'Castellated' 5043 slowly crossing the Ship Canal through the lattice girders of the Ethelfleda (or Britannia) viaduct between Runcorn and Widnes. Only my opinion but possibly one of the most frustrating bridges to photograph. The loco is...
