Blimey you nearly got very scuppered by that HST approaching the slammer move. Nice angle down there for the trains, shame the weather conspired against you with the bright sky

I bought a set of ND Grads at Christmas (Cokin) but I don't use them because they detract from the quality of the lens - I can't afford Lee filters so it's a toss up between sharpness and overlit skies.

I hope you bought a lottery ticket last night, your numbers surely would have come up!

Great picture of Class 421 4CIG 1881 being hauled by the Class 47. Is that the one Knights Rail Service own?

Any news on what the 421 is heading up to Barrow Hill for? Storage, maintenance? How long its there for? Might be worth a trip over there to take some pictures.

From the usually far-fetched sounding rumour mill I've heard it's donating parts to a restoration of a Brighton Belle set. If it's true, I'd easily advocate the sacrifice of the CIG.
