Military-ish photo for today! B4 0-4-0T 'Normandy' at Southampton Docks in company with a USS Carrier (whose name I'm not sure of) with lots of Helicopters on deck (I would say Chinooks but not certain either!) It was a brilliant photo charter. The Railway Magazine Chris Milner 🦊

'Britannia' approaching Ansty on the WCML earlier en route to Chester. A couple kindly moored their boat (well I had to help!) in a nice position! Sometimes it's best to ask! The reflection I'd gone for wasn't working so.......! The Railway Magazine Steam Dreams Rail Co Canal & River Trust

The class 800/802 does little to inspire enthusiasm for the hobby, but it is rather exhilarating to be on a nine car set racing UP Hemerdon bank! The image is Liskeard though and the lovely wild flowers. Modern Railways The Railway Magazine

‘The Sandbox Men at sunrise’ A watering can full of sand is lifted up to be poured into the sandboxes on this Black 5 at Butterley before a mainline run in the 90’s. Quite a successful photo for me back then. #steamlocomotive #railwayphotography The Railway Magazine
