Gresley A4 No 60007 at Collingham 5th December 2010
Not knowing if todays run was still on I decided to venture out anyway and hope it was.Getting to the chosen location was a task in itself with the road closed we wanted to go down.Finally reaching our chosen location we found a few other photographers already in position with some good news that the tour was still on.One of the eminent photographers in position was Trevor Law who I had already met a few weeks ago at Gamston. Running thirty minutes down and just before a local unit was going to block the view ex LNER A4 Class 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley for the second weekend running makes a majestic sight in the winter sunshine. The Lindum Christmas Fayre Kings Cross - Lincoln - Kings Cross.

1st – 60007 in the snow. A perfect execution of a difficult shot, that has retained detail in the exhaust and the snow, plus its low angle has not only dealt with the drifting smoke issue A4s have, but has give the shot a much more powerful feel.
