Catching water. Inspired by Lintmachine and Lee. Not exactly what I wanted, but close enough for this iteration.
Updated with some brightening of the background, and decided not to go B&W (needs bigger contrast to work well).

Knaresborough Down Home 2 (lever 9) frames one of the more unusual signal boxes on the Network, seen here on the 16th December 2014. Knaresborough signal box was built by the North Eastern Railway of stone and attached to the end of a row of terraced houses. It dates from 1872 although the upper half was rebuilt in 1890 and houses a 12 lever McKenzie and Holland mechanical frame. The signal box is a Grade II listed building.
Anybody who has visited RV recently will realise that this particular view as it stands no longer exists due to the work being carried in early 2015.(Image done for a slightly painterly effect).
Northern Rail 150144 appears to be a spare “Thunderbird” unit stabled on the Through road at Harrogate, 16th December 2014.
Unit History
150144 is one of the first production batch (fifty, two car sets) of “second generation” diesel multiple units built as replacements for the original diesel multiple units introduced in the late 1950’s. I still consider these to be modern vehicles but are in fact approaching there thirtieth birthday as they were built at Derby in 1985. All of this batch was initially allocated to Derby Etches Park and I remember them taking over the East Midlands local duties from the Swindon Cross Country class 120 units which I had grown up with since their arrival at Derby in 1969. When the class 150 units took over at Derby I lived in Long Eaton and worked in Birmingham and therefore travelled on them every working day. Although they were a big improvement especially in speed and reliability terms with there large doors and heating reliant on the cooling system of the engine they were nowhere as “snug” as the class 120’s in winter.
