That convoy is quite a sight. I recall seeing something similar on the gen a few weeks back - I'm sure that had around 8 on it. Few more from yesterday - Oliver Cromwell paid a visit on the Cathedral's Express, and an amendment from Chichester to Portsmouth meant plenty of opportunities for pics. He...

Great pic Thomas. I'd always make an effort to see these test trains - DRS 37s look good with the NR coaches.

Which loco is in the foreground? Looks a bit shinier than the ones I've seen, and particularly good with the compass livery! Is it a recent repaint? Are there others painted the same?

Good set of pics. Lovely day you had for it.

The strange light looks to me like glare - judging by the shadows you were shooting almost into the sun. A lens hood or a carefully placed hand might have helped. The problem might also be exaggerated by dust in the air on such a dry day.

Thanks! I don't imagine I'll see that many locos on a working again any time soon!

Excellent shot of the Holys - sun right side and cab front too! This will be my only freight soon as I move office on Friday! Nice shots at St Cross and MHR too! Thanks Dave. Good couple of days - hadn't seen a single thing since Eastleigh over a month ago! :shock: The line at Bedhampton runs north...

And one more... Holybourne tanks taken from the alternative Bedhampton bridge - maybe the best angle of all when the sun is shining. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e387/guitardave_1/Railway%20Pictures/66040.jpg Waited almost an hour and a half (god knows why :roll:) for the Chichester stone, whic...

Planned a little outing today for the first time in ages. Tried out a new mainline location - not particularly busy but worth finding. Few angles available but a lot of trees meant quite tight head on shots. Also found a bit of a viewpoint of the Mid Hants Railway to get a pic for the competition. D...

What a great spot! Certainly an unusual working and well photographed. Making me envious - I've not seen anything for about a month now, but determined to make an effort next week!

Hi, No it was shot in colour then cropped and 'antiqued'. Thanks :-) Andi Works well - seems to give it a sort of duotone look. Nice shot as well - I have taken a few along the same lines in the past. There are plenty of great details, particularly on steam locos, that get overlooked and lost in pi...

Everything that Dave said! Lovely shot in RH - top marks!

I had meant to submit some of my Eastleigh pics from the loco movements and open day, but never got around to it. If I say so myself, I think they were at least as good as some of those published.

Cracking shots all round Dave, especially the 40. I like the sound of a '37 day' :) I didn't see a 40. But thanks anyway :)[/quote] I was expecting everyone else to be on my peculiar wavelength :oops: :lol: I meant the one of 40145 from a few weeks back! For whatever reason I hadn't commented on it...

A successful morning! Really nice view of the freight - certainly a beautiful day for it.

My photos are also now online as promised. Visit my website if you want to take a look!

My Eastleigh 100 photos are now uploaded to my site. I won't post them all in this thread as well, but for anyone who wants to take a look you can find them here.
