Ay up!

They're excellent - love the pictures of Bittern at Ribblehead.
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Hi BB,

Glad you like them, up at Ribblehead it really was very cold in the wind.

Good morning all
Around 1980, I was behind two Black Fives over the Settle Carlisle line. This was the first trip that had a run through photo shoot. It was terrific with the Black Fives at long cut-off belching steam and smoke everywhere.
The film in my SLR seemed to last forever, which was because the film wasn't winding on properly, and I ended up with zero usuable pics.
Good memories

I was not aware of that plaque! I sincerely hope it wasn't attached when I attended the Great Goodbye at Shildon back on 17th February, or my observation skills must be worse than even my wife accuses me they are! :oops: (It was dark though!).

Better check my photos!
