Flying Scotsman at Peterborough Nene Valley Railway

Wonderful!

Thank you Erhard,

Of course it is our nations most well known locomotive, and very popular for all to see!
Glad you like it too!

Beautiful composition with the (first) signs of autumn.

Thank you Jaap,

I'm glad you noticed the colours! The locomotive I've photographed many times, the colours are rarer!

Best Wishes

The Flying Scotsman seems very busy this Autumn & you have found a perfect spot to capture it Peter ~~~ All the best ~~ Nick

Thank you Nick,

Judging by the number of people who had paid to ride behind it, you can understand why all the railways want to book it!
It is pleasing to note that all the stupidity of trespassing lineside seems to have died a death. Only a handful of sensible photographers in each spot.

Hello Peter what a smashing shot indeed .. looks like a new location as i do not remember the tree from my visits but see you have it mapped at Station road Caster

Saved in fav's by me

Best wishes ... Steve

Thank you so much Steve,

Your praise is much appreciated, as ever.
The location is correct, the same place we had been previously when we were trying bird pictures with our respective cameras.. I got the idea that the vegetation here could do with a bit of clearance, maybe that's why it looks different.
Any more thoughts on GCR this weekend?

Hello Peter

Perhaps this is the tree we were watching the Squirrels from the car ?

Yes given that the weather is not too bad Saturday i will head for Woodthorpe bridge and see how the land lays for parking there these days hopefully in time for the first double header of the day ... Alan and his friend hope to get there by 10.00am also

My dear Peter,

What a beautifu picture this is! takes us to the Autumn...
As Albert Camus said "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower"
And of course the Flying Scotsman is a big bonus!

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your visit and such kind words! I am so pleased that you like my choice of picture from the day. The autumn colours are always nice!
I remember almost two years ago (only 6 days shy) we saw this locomotive, and it was not autumn colours. None the less a wonderful memory for us.

A terrific shot of an iconic engine Peter and you have captured it in beautiful surroundings. Love the Autumn colours. Best wishes, Carol

Hi Carol

Your visit is most welcome as ever, thank you.
As you might have guessed, Autumn colours were up for consideration too!
Without them this railway is not particularly scenic!

I remember years ago on the news about it being on tour in North America. And wondering how they shipped it across the Atlantic! Now I think, who profited? Was it British Rail? If so, give them more credit for commercial nous than has been fashionable these past few decades!
Terrific shot, Peter!
Best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy

Thank you!
Your memory is certainly correct. The web site www.flyingscotsman.org.uk/about
tells the story. As you can see, it was nothing to do with British Rail..(No surprises there!)
I am pleased that you like the picture.

Best Wishes
Peter

Excellent info, Peter - thanks!
... and it certainly explains why I was wrong!!!
Best wishes,
Andy

A superb shot of this famous locomotive Peter, with touches of autumn in the surroundings!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for visiting!!
As you know I have many pictures of this locomotive, but chose to go out again because there might be some nice colours, so I am very pleased you noticed!

Best Wishes
Peter
