The first picture Superb

Oh, yes - memories indeed... I saw 50 002 Superb at New St, back in the day. I know Western fans didnt like them, but the Hoovers were the best looking locos on BR once the Hydraulics & Deltics had gone...

Tin hat on, taking cover.....

Fantastic pics, Jim. Thanks for posting.

Nothing else needs to be said... the shadows across the tracks are just so.

Jim you even have the correct intensity lighting on the 50 NICE!!!!!!!

 

[Jim S-W]

It's a bit of a cheat, 30 second exposure with the loco lights on for 2 of them.

Cheers

Jim

The gloom looks just right Jim - it has always seemed a dark cold place to me...

Yeah - keep em coming, love it!

If the platform spotters could photograph a Western then that will be "just sublime".

For now, the HSTs do rather hit the spot.

We won't get bored of looking at them....

[Jim S-W]

[Alan]

Sure. Afraid I don't have any hydraulics though, sorry. What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jim S-W]

None left by 1987, unless you count sprinters. All my class 86 and 87s are powered by dead warships though.

You could pretend... or bend the timeline... and just humour those WT-ers to whom blue means Wizzos.

[iploffy]

You mean to say they are powered by twin tubs

 

[Jim S-W]

Can't afford any off topic trains though

Under the roof is one of the few places I can take pictures of Electrics without it looking odd due to the lack of overhead.​
