I (Ben) have an article under way for British Railway Modelling, for which I'd shot a load of prototype pics earlier in the year. With the weather having improved significantly since they were shot, we decided to make the most of the Spring sunshine and head out for some more pictures.
First stop, Ingrow, and a visit to the always-excellent shop the at Vintage Carriages museum.
Then it was off up to Oxenhope for a quick (and very tasty) bacon sarnie at the buffet coach.
An atmospheric view of "Vulcan", which was on pilot duties due to the fire risk. In fact the two above views make the place look quiet, but they were lucky shots; the trains were heaving!
Amongst the many items photographed for the article was the playground... had to wait for all the kids to sprint over to watch the locomotives running round.
With that, it was off home to crack-on with more work...
