Strong easterly winds create troubled seas in this part of Devon. A lone jogger gets a soaking from Mother Nature. Lesson Learned.

The 1Z10 had their annual Christmas photo shoot in Carlisle this year. Andy Hoare organised the event but was unable to attend due to contracting a cold.

A brief stop over in Shrewsbury whilst heading north gave me the opportunity to record some of the comings and goings as well as the beautiful signal boxes and semaphore signals. A combination of video and a few photos.

The members of the 1Z10 photographic group descended on York from all around the country to spend a few days chasing the 37s on this autumns RHTT working.

A few hours spent in the Stoke and Crewe area proved to be quite fruitful. I managed a few shots of different workings 56113 is seen blasting through Stoke on Trent with the 0920 Stapleford to Pinnox Branch. There are a few shots of this working, Two at Kidsgrove, One en route to Alsager where she will run round before heading back to the Pinnox branch near Longport.The second is on the way bac...

On the 4th and 5th of October Don Bishop and Timeline photography combined forces and laid on a private charter featuring 9f 92134 who would be hauling a rake of box vans and a rake of mineral wagons, it also included a night shoot at Quorn. Here are the highlights.

This is the first video documentation of a 1Z10 trip. It was a trip to Westbury and surrounding area and took place on the 22-24th September. 1Z10 are a bunch of guys who share a common interest in railways and photography.

Having spent a few days in Cornwall and Devon, Steam Dreams tour of the Westcountry heads back to London. 33207 and 37706 led the tour out of Cornwall departing PZ at 0835 as 1Z47 at Plymouth the service was recoded and 45596 with 61306 took the helm as 1Z48 1100 PLY-VIC. The two diesels ran ahead and waited in Theale loop.

Steam Dreams outbound excursion to Devon and Cornwall hits the sea wall in dismal conditions with only yours truly there to greet them. The tour originated from Victoria as 1Z40 to ESD then 1Z43 1720 ESD to PLY 45596 Bahamas was leading B1 61306 Mayflower. I think 33207 and 37706 are working the train forward to PZ where the train will remain for a few days. # Devon Steam

This rail tour was supposed to feature D1015 Western Champion but due to her not passing her main line test a few weeks previous 50007 and 50049 were drafted into service.
