The Bath Bristol Explorer with Tornado

Three shots from a very damp Sydney Gardens of Tornado running back from Bristol and Bath to Ashford.

Considering the weather these are brilliant, thanks for posting!

 

The first of those is a very atmospheric shot. Thank you. The weather and the dull light brings out the drifting steam and the headlight. Not all steam loco photos need to be 3/4 front views in bright sunshine and lovely green countryside! IMHO.

 

Thanks for the comments, I had to discard quite a few others, the wet conditions in the cutting/tunnel and the presence of a HST played havoc with the focusing.

 

Vry nice pics, thanks.

I got video of her at Aldermaston and Sonning, here:

The first bit is Lizzie which was also worth seeing!
