A couple of shots from yesterday featuring 70013 hauling 'The Heart of Midlothian' crossing Chester Le Street Viaduct and leaving Tyne Yard.

Then, given it was such a great forecast today I opted for a day at Tanfield... Only to be dodging the usual clouds all day!

70013 on the Mainline

In the shot of 70013 over the viaduct, she looks so much like Green Arrow. If only......

If only...

I was hoping for a bit of smoke to make it stand out a bit more... To make it even more annoying they shut off just before the viaduct. But hey ho, I wanted to try the shot before leaving the North East in the Summer... you win some, you loose even more

It's Chester Le Street Viaduct and the shot is taken from the edge of the A183 on the bank down to the A1 roundabout.

Now some would say you might just be obsessed

My online name, profile pic and my signature could point to that too

Ay up!

Thanks, SY - a cracking shot!

Blackout, you need to get out more. Or is that less, I'm never sure....

I definitely need to get out more. A trip to the NYMR is in order
I'll be going to their spring steam gala anyway
