Sir Nigel Gresley in the snow.

Wow, what a steam cloud, Peter!

Hi Erhard

Thank you for your kind visit here!
Usually there is a steam train every week along here at Christmas time, and usually around sunrise in this spot.. So, we pick our time and place, and if we are lucky the sky is clear, and it snows!

Best Wishes
Peter

No spring ... ! But when it's cold, you can see the steam better. ;-) Well done my friend!

Hi Frank

Thank you so much for visiting. As you can see, it is quite an old photo now, but a scene not forgotten. Of course you are right about the cold weather.. Always better pictures, and you have better winters than we do!

One of my favourite engines bowling along nicely ~ Thank you Peter

Thank you Nick.

Certainly the sight of one of these on the route they were designed for is an impressive memory.
I am so pleased that you are re-living it.

Hello Peter!

Wonderful, fearless Sir Nigel with his glorious puffs of vapor like an ancient knight against a hypothetical dragon living in the snow.. Forgive my excessive imagination, but this was my first impression and also the second ..a d the third again..
Loving it so much, my best wishes.Bea

Hi Bea,

Thank you so much. Your kind and well thought out words have made me very happy!!
It is always nice to catch steam trains in the snow, there is always a lot of visible exhaust!

A cracking shot Peter,
The winter snow and a loco working hard is a joy to see,
sadly we get little main line action in winter, have a lovely Sunday.

Hi Roger,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the sight of this express, just like the old days.

There are usually a few Xmas steam specials scheduled along this line, to places like York, Lincoln, etc, (although this year they do seem rather thin on the ground at the moment)


Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

One of your greats here Peter. The 'Sir Nigel Gresley' looks good in any condition but you have upped the anti with this lighting. Very well dome my friend.

Cheers, Herb

Thanks very much Herb,

While I could not control the sunrise, I did pick the spot where I though the train might be when it did rise! I am pleased that you think my reckoning worked out!!

Best Wishes
Peter

The low light really enhances this! Lots of lovely steam because of the cold:-)
