A second image from the WSR gala weekend, and the last for this evening. More to follow in the next couple of days.
LNWR Coal Tank No. 1054 heads a 3 coach local train from Williton to Bishops Lydeard past Leigh Bridge, and the site of the former passing loop, on 4th May 2024.

After a very successful WSR gala this weekend, I have now downloaded my images and commenced working through them to see which ones are worth processing and keeping. I am quite fussy. My first offering to my social pages is this one of the visiting B1 No. 61306 "Mayflower", climbing past Nethercott with the 09.00 Bishops Lydeard to Minehead on 4th May 2024. Image captured using my Mavic 3Pro drone. Note the distant mist in the vale of Taunton.

One of the most popular images and large prints at shows and events, and indeed in the gallery in the past, is this one from the Steam Museum in the former Swindon works during a Timeline Events shoot a few years back. The engine is King No. 6000 "King George V". Probably the closest you'll get to seeing this loco in steam! The crew member looking along the side and the couple walking out of the picture and re-enactors carefully posed to create the romantic scene. The characters on the left of the picture are mannequins and don't take instructions well. Lol. Incredible what can be captured in such an indoor setting with the use of smoke machines and lighting. Its always a good conversation piece for people to try and remember the title of the old film which we had in mind when this shot was set up. Do you know? It is of course "Brief Encounter", Starring Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard & Stanley Holloway.
