Early October saw us on a packed weekend of shoots, where an evening in Blackpool was preceded by a ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway at the lower end of Windemere. In the past we've only got the odd photograph of the line from within a kayak on the nearby river.
The chunky saddle tank "Princess" was rostered, and is seen when we arrived at the impressive station at Haverthwaite.
The sun was out when we arrived for lunch at the cafe.
After some food, we boarded for a round trip to Lakeside.
A good spot for some reference pics was the end of Haverthwaite station.
The rock tunnel is particularly impressive, and with a miniatures build on the cards for next Spring which needs something very similar, it was great to be able to get some shots.
The weather turned later in the day, which was a bit annoying from a photography perspective.
Still, switching to monochrome for some more unusual angles helped.
A nice day out, and we're planning on making a return during a Gala event next year.
