Arctic rendezvous
With a famine of trips recently due to family commitments it's back to the archives and here, on a bitterly cold late afternoon at Great Rocks Junction, a pair of Sheds, led by 66238, approach from the Tunstead quarry complex, while unit 66015 disappears towards Buxton and ultimately Dowlow.
Thankfully the snow provided a bit more brightness than is normally found at this time of day, but also ensured most sensible folk were hunkered up inside trying to stay warm. Despite the cold happy to report no problem with the reflexes - a couple of seconds on 'burst mode' and managed to bag a nigh perfect alignment of the two locos! A shot that enlarges quite well.
