Some railway-related pictures for this update, with the Ffestiniog, the Welsh Highland, and the Worth Valley featuring...
First up, a regular haunt of ours, Harbour Station at Porthmadog, on the Ffestiniog. We were only up for a couple of days whilst visiting family, so no time for a ride or any line-side shots, but being as it was half-term week the cosmetically restored "Princess" was on display.
A more close-up shot of Princess, from the traditional super-low-angle perspective...
Later in the week saw us at Beddgelert doing a project shoot, but I took the opportunity of two services on the Welsh Highland Railway passing close by to the location of the shoot. Above, a train crosses the Glaslyn towards Beddgelert...
...where it crossed this service, heading towards Porthmadog.
Back home a couple of weeks later, and a trip on the KWVR with the youngest. Above, in the yard at Ingrow was the rolling chassis of the Ivatt tank which is being repaired ready for the anniversary celebrations on the line.
The Standard was hauling the services, and is seen under a dull sky coming into Ingrow...
...and at Haworth, where we disembarked. This shot was actually taken by The Child, who is rather good with an SLR for a three year old.
And in the woods near the house, the 4F a few days later heads for Oxenhope, on a day when the bright lighting conditions threatened to really confuse the camera, and it was a struggle to shoot anything at all.
And the final shot, another favoured location, Hirst Wood. Dull sky again, but it was a recce visit for an upcoming shoot, more on which in a later post.
