Ex LMS 8F 2-8-0 48151 returning to York, passing Towthorpe on the way back from the coast, with that familiar clanking sound.
The Stanier workhorse was rostered on the Scarborough Spa Expresses that Summer.
With 13 carriages in tow this was one of the heavier loads that season.
LMS 8151 was built at Crewe works during the war in 1942

Photographed March 2022 / I used a Zorki-6 35mm rangefinder Film Camera with Jupiter-12 35mm/2.8 lens to make the photograph on KENTMERE 400 35mm bulk stock metered ASA 320 developed in KTF-QP (a hydroquinone-phenidone formula which uses triethanolamine as alkali). Negative was scanned with A PENTAX k3 DSLR and Schneider COMPONON-S 80mm/4 enlarging lens. The image was edited on an iPad mini using the Snap Seed application: full frame scan of entire negative area without trimming.
On the first day of the 2025 Winter Gala I had a morning turn on visiting engine GWR 2884 Class 2-8-0 3850. I was checking the water level in the tender when this view presented itself.
The original GWR 2-8-0s introduced in 1908 had a typically Edwardian small cab roof but even this 1940s update is hardly less Spartan especially when running backwards in the rain!
this closeup (of my empty 2020) was shot with Sony 90mm f/2.8 lens on Sony a7r iii.

Great Western 2884 Class 2-8-0 3802 takes water at the tank north of the station at Loughborough. It's only when you stand back do you get an idea how massive these engines are.
Churchward introduced the 2800 Class in 1903 - the first 2-8-0 locos in the UK - and further members were built by Collett in 1938-41 with minor modifications as the 2884 Class. The most obvious difference is the side window cab. The class lasted in service until 1965 and 3802 was one of the last being withdrawn in August from Bristol Barrow Road shed.
3802 is currently paired with a 4,000 gallon Collett tender instead of the usual 3,500 gallon Churchward tender. This seems to upset some people but I think it looks fine and it does give a bit more protection to the crew when running tender-first.

300mm 2.8 L
i tend to really love going around with my 300mm, it's heavy like crazy, but when i see what it's capable of, it helps me make a choice. the Leica x1 has been staying at home these last days. but it's temporary, like everything else in photography right?
i haven't been tempted by any new lenses lately. but i am slowly becoming tempted by the canon 200mm 2.8 L. true it's not having IS so i'm still wondering if it can replace the 300mm at times. but it's probably the lens that will give me the most similar results, without the weight...
sorry about the noise in this one. i forgot to have a pass done in Camera RaW. and then it was too late as i had processed a lot of tiny bits here and there as well as the balance, all on the initial shot with noise. when i tried to reobtain the same results on the noise free shot, i failed... and failed again, at getting the exact same processing and atmosphere.
-30sec exposure at f/2.8 with headlight and small flashlight used to paint the tufas.
-We had to leave soon after this because of a pack of coyotes!!! That's right, be prepare to run for your life (at least John did) because of wild animals if you do night photography in the wilderness.
-Night photography also aided by near full-moon but at least the Dipper is still visible
