The last stop on mine and Elder Childs East Yorkshire Road Trip was to get some pics of the Derwent Valley Railway. We were running too late for rides by the time we got here, but I really wanted some pics of the far end of the line.
We didn't plan it as such, but we arrived (after driving back and forth looking for somewhere to park) just as a train trundled up.
The intention was this shot; I'm doing a layout based on both the Burnside Tramway (Cumbria) and the Leiston Works Railway out Lowestoft way. This stretch, with the railway squeezed in between hedges and the close proximity to the domestic garden, is as close as I could get to the atmosphere of those places with a working train.
This was a good cop, the class 04. Running in its 1980's livery when this was still a commercial railway. Love a Drewry shunter.
Again, the poor weather was annoying, but I got the shots I needed to for the article.
