Angles on a Tug
Another trip over to Nottingham today and another day with the little Sony in my pocket ..... just in case.
As luck would have it I was around for the DB Tug on the lunchtime tanks and took this shot just after the crew change had taken place. I figured I'd make use of the flip-screen to get down low (something that's barely possible with the 5D without going almost prostrate) and quite like the converging angles. At around 98% of the image as snapped there was never any intention of doing a distortion correction, and I did compose it to include both the 'Welcome' and 'Platform 1b' signs.
So, in short, DB Tug 60063 stands at the usual spot for the crew change, while hauling the 10.34am Kingsbury - Humber Oil Refinery discharged tanks (6E54).
Turned out to be quite a busy hour or so for loco-hauled trains - a DB Tug was seen on the ex Wolverhampton steel train, a pair of Sheds called in on the RHTT, and an HST set worked down to London St Pancras.
