LE Movements, ECS and Test Runs 2014.

I planned two shots today but managed to catch the B1 three times, first shot crossing the River Wenning at Low Bentham, bit of a gamble this one.
Then some how I managed to get in front of the train just before Settle so I dived into Long Preston and got a grab shot off the bridge, Long Preston.
Last shot of the day at a gloomy Goosemere Height just outside Hellifield.

 

Great phots and vids from all, thanks for sharing.

And as for giving your mrs the camera Waterbuck, well, I only gave my other half my camera once, and what did she do with it?
She DROPPED IT.....on the pavement!

Nice shot, she did well.

 

And another still - from the other side of the tracks at Ramsgreave !

 

You and your "grab shots".............................................................

And I see that you still haven't changed the year of copyright in the file data!

 

When I have to abandon my car on a pavement, run down a lane, climb a gate, run across a muddy field
and then have less than a minute to get my breath back and compose a shot using manual settings I call it a "grab shot"!

 

Thats such a good video, superb locations, great video and sound, I'd be really really proud of that one. And doesn't that engine sound on top form and nicely driven too.

 

Thanks, and I appreciate your comments, but I have to say that all of us who ventured out for this run, whether doing video or photographs got some very pleasing shots from a good variety of locations.

 

Well, since you put it like that.................................. and you seem to like orienteering............................. who am I to argue!!

 

Wonderful stuff. Many thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks, as I've said previously, great results from everyone who went out for this run

 

In the 5690 thread post #14 implied there is to be a test run on Wednesday 29th by 'a jubilee'. Anyone able to confirm please?

 

This could be it ?

One of the regular Carnforth > Southall WCR ECS slots has been activated, but its LE? Anything of note?

 

Noted on another forum that WCRC 57/3 has recently been on hire to FGW to power the overnight Cornish sleeper services so this may be another 57/3 running to Southall as back-up loco as FGW is about to apply further modifications to the 57/6 fleet.

 

The Union Jack 47 went south through Preston at 14.00.

 

Not activated yet.....is it still on for Galatea?

 

Activated 08.00 so fingers crossed.
