73109 on the PAD at Tonbridge West yard.
Sitting on the PAD at the back of the west yard. The lads in the yard were very helpful. Turning the yard light on for me but the image was worse so the lights went off again. Instead the loco light have been switched on giving a far more pleasing image. I tried first at ground level but in the end opted for a shot from the steps of a portacabin. Camera clamped to railings. A 30 sec exposure has resulted in some movement from the flags still attached to the front from the locos recent re-naming ceremony. If I had spotted the movement during the exposure I would have made an effort to stick them down. But considering the lack of light the image is ok.
