GWR 5637 on the East Somerset Railway by Peter Brabham
The weather forecast was good and it was a Bank holiday Monday so I took a chance for a day out on the ESR having ducked out of the gala the previous weekend due to abysmal weather. The only engine in steam was the recently restored Ivatt 46447 but I had a few hours of lovely chocolate box sunny photography. The East Somerset is a very difficult line to photograph on running East West with few vantage points on the sunny side of the line. Best photography to be had in the earliest trains of the day before the sun moves off the front of the east facing engines.
