Brilliant stuff. I normally get down to the WSR for their mixed traffic weekend but was too busy this year. Wish I'd rearranged my chores now having seen these pictures.

:rolleyes: I dunno... we go on about posting pics of the real thing & pretending it's a model :( can't fool us mate - D832 looks waaaaay too clean in that double-header pic.... if you're going to photoshop a model Phill, at least weather it a bit first.... :p :rolleyes: :))


Do you mean the doubleheaded pic in the coach behind the dodgy glasses, in #1 ?. :)):))

.... got my passport, & i'm just about to leg it...... :oops:

In the past I have not given any of those five classes of diesel featured above more than a fleeting glance (yes I know this is WT……:rolleyes:) - but I must admit these pictures have had a very positive influence on me!

The locos are superbly turned out and highly photogenic, making for some great images.

I also like the brown and cream Mk1s, and the grass platform!!

Great pictures Phill, just for the record I think I put my sunglasses on because my eyes were stinging as I was so tired ha ha.. Phill's excuse could be something to do with his celebrity status :)
Was an excellent weekend and yes Rob we did miss you being the 3rd musketeer. Your stunt double John had an excellent time.

Thanks for posting Phill...

Kcocaep Ssor... :) :)

It's just a joke between Phill and I he has app what can play recordings fast, slow, forwards or backwards. . We were being very 'mature' and saying our names backwards and playing it back forward "spooky"
And nobody at this point was TA which probably makes it slightly more worrying... We were at a pub though "The Hankridge Arms Taunton"
