Cheers

Hope the floodlit shots are OK as night photography is something I haven't tried a lot either...

Love to see DP1 on the Mainline again for special workings

A fantastic day, I just took too many photos (72)

All I can say is "wow" and I cant wait for next week

trainspotter · 9 Oct 2011

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

newbie babs · 9 Oct 2011

Took theses today and I am not very good at taking pictures

wensley · 10 Oct 2011

I took nearly 500 shots so 72 doesn't sound too bad to me

Some nice images there are well!
Glad people like the shots, I was pleased with them, capturing a special moment
I'm also glad to see "1A60" lasted all weekend

Just got back from 3 days in the Lake District with no internet access!
Nice to see you photos as well, I think they were better split either side of the pad to be honest, I maybe should've popped back up on Saturday to complete the set.

My friend went on Sunday where the Deltic's seem to be better laid out for photos, looking at the shots he showed me from his sortie. He also has a blog, http://www.jims-trains.blogspot.com/ I know he put a couple on there yesterday, he was hoping to get some more uploaded tonight...

All in all it was a fantastic event one I'd definately go to again.

I seem to be more impressed with the two tone green locomotives rather than the blue ones, but this is the opinion of a total novice.

Warning - personal opinion approaching.
While I love the nostalgia of the get together, I was reminded of a Boy Band come back tour; they are not as good as they were, and the years have done nothing to improve their looks. In fact, they are really ugly, especially in Rail Blue, which does nothing to break up the horrible slab sides.

Harlesden · 13 Oct 2011

Ugly? This is ugly.

Everyone has locos that they like or dislike for whatever reason! I, personally, love the sight of a Deltic (or 7 in this case

) and it is arguable that 22 is the best around, spotless BR Blue with the embellishments certainly does it for me. One thing photos don't provide are sound and smell - something special about almost all heritage diesels. Hearing '16 and '22 tick over and rev up was what it was all about for me and a Deltic's engine room after shut down smells like no other....never mind the heat!

I've never been interested by the sight of Deltics, or steam trains, but those are some lovely shots.
