Russ Hillier charter at Embsay

Post by Autocar Publicity »

Russ held a charter at Embsay on the 13th using the Furness Railway Trust's 56xx (5613) which has been visiting the line. The weather was somewhat chilly and we had some sleet from the east, which was annoying when the loco was facing west... Despite the weather, frozen points, treacherous conditions underfoot and poor light, we got some decent photos, some of which you may see in the various magazines in a few weeks time. Here's five of mine, I'd also recommend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGK47DJkJc which is a good video of the day's highlights. Now, where's the bit in the manual about exposure compensation...?
