With the events of 50 years ago today (11th August 1968 to save you working it out!) when steam ended on British Railways and it was very much a "and they think it's all over...." moment. That days "15 Guinea" special between Liverpool/Manchester and Carlisle was to bring the curtain down on around 150 years of history of a machine that Britain gave the world. But thankfully after a few (long) years steam was allowed back onto the mainline network and things have of course grown from there with regular steam hauled excursions and many heritage lines. This loco, Britannia No. 70013 "Oliver Cromwell" was one of the very engines that hauled that last train in 1968, and is now happily preserved for running on the mainline and based at the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire. In these images the engine is seen passing Kinchley Lane on the GCR with a goods charter I organised on 17th January 2012 when we were greeted with nice cold wintry conditions, ideal for steam photography. Amazing what preservation has achieved to be able to see such a sight as a Brit' on a mixed goods on a double track mainline. We are very lucky. ... See MoreSee Less

Hi all, I thought I'd share a nice image of a beach with you today as we head towards another hot and sunny weekend (well down south anyway!), albeit this one is way "up north" at Crannog on the beautiful Isle of Barra.
For those of you who have been following my ongoing health battles in recent weeks, I'm pleased to report that this has been a much better week, able to be at work and carry on as normal, dosed up with extra tablets and medicine but it seems to be keeping problems at bay, which is great. More tests and investigations next week to try and establish what is behind it all, so that'll be fun - not. Thanks for all your messages of goodwill, much appreciated.
Enjoy the weekend. ... See MoreSee Less

Very pleased to see the publication of an article on steam railway photography in which I took the Canon Pro role for PhotoPlus Canon magazine.
It was a great day out on the Severn Valley Rly with the magazine guy's and the apprentice Tom Noble, who was in fact already quite accomplished with his railway photography and is also a new recruit to footplate duties on the North York Moors Rly.
If you want to know more about this type of photography and it's unique challenges then get a copy of the magazine and read about what we did and my top tips. Perhaps consider a workshop day on the subject which I run at the West Somerset Rly. ... See MoreSee Less
