Week 2, day 2 with 45407.

Most annoying that the sun was fully out about 10 minutes after the last shot of the train today... Never mind, we may get it tomorrow :/... You can tell the summer is here.

The final day of Week 2 and 45407.

We thought we were in for a treat this morning when setting out with clear blue skies... Although the usual small cloud trick happened at Burton Salmon... Before clouding over with rain just in time for the return trip.

Today featured Burton Salmon, Fairburn Ings, Church Fenton and Bolton Percy.

Wednesday of week three, I thought we may get a nice sun glint on the return to York this evening but as to be expected... A thunderstorm decided to come hide the sun as the train passed. I shall upload some video clips from the week tomorrow.

Well, decided I would venture round to Kirkham this morning although on arrival I received messages that the engine had failed... Just my luck. Called in at Colton Junction on my way home and saw the pair heading for York.
