Etta is very comfortable down stair on the lounge or on the warm floor (under-floor heating for Winter)
It's silly o'clock and I slither out from under the bed clothes, lit only by the LED on the clock. Its cold, the heating hasn't fired up yet. I quickly put on my clothes, specially laid out for speed. I hurry downstairs (we don't live in a bungalow you know!!) Gathering up all my gear I have placed by the door, I call upstairs.... Byeeeee, see you later. I'm off to the car. I have to scrape the frost from the windscreen; I think this is a good sign. I set off into the darkness, looking over the hedge where ever I can for any sign of the mist. Suddenly I hit a pocket... my heart skips a beat... so, it's about!!!!!
I pull into the little gravel car park at the bottom of Martinsell Hill. By this time there is just a smidge of light in the sky, you can see outlines of trees and hedgerows shooting off into the darkness. Switching off the headlights, my eyes take a few seconds to adjust. I set off through the gate and now for the climb up the hill. I know there are cows in the field as every five or six footsteps it feels a little squelchy underfoot :o(.. It's OK, I have my walking boots on and spares in the car :o). I head up the hill, Pewsey Vale on my left and a small wood on my right. Sometimes there’s a Raven just beginning to croak good morning at me ( I love that sound ) but not this morning, but as always there’s a Tawny Owl telling me it's his wood, sometimes the female adds her support !! All of a sudden a cow stands up in front of me from its overnight sleeping place, I nearly wet myself. It's still too dark to clearly see, but I hate using a torch, it spoils the mood. I have a chuckle and press on. I round a corner on the hillside and cross a stone-age flint quarry, the only tell tale sign these days is when the sun finally rises and the light dances off the hillside, it looks like the surface of a giant golf ball. I wonder if thousands of years ago Stone Age people sat here knapping flint for arrow heads and watched the sun rise, as I will!! Must press on, the sun won’t wait, every minute there is more light. I reach my chosen spot, heart pounding, as much from the excitement of what could happen, as from the walk up the hill. Unpacking all the kit and setting it up all takes time, checking and re-checking the settings. By now the mist is really starting to form, lying in hollows and collecting around trees. A buzzard calls somewhere, I don’t even look up, I just love the fact it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Within minutes the sun pops over the far side of the vale, and sprays its rays over the mist, clipping the tops of the trees.
It’s then that I know.... silly o’clock wasn’t so silly :o)
If you get this far, well done.... if not, sod ya..... lol ...
The centennial flame provided some warmth during our evening visit when the temperature dropped to minus 13C.
Not the greatest of photographs I have taken finds 27205 passing through Princess Street Gardens as it departs Edinburgh on a Edinburgh – Glasgow push pull duty, 14th April 1977..
Locomotive History
27205 was originally D5410 and is one of sixty nine class 27 locomotives built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW) during 1961 and 1962. D5410 was delivered in August 1962 and was one of a large batch of class 27’s delivered for Midland Main Line duties. In March 1969 it was transferred to Eastfield and in late 1970 it returned south, entering Derby Works to be modified for Glasgow-Edinburgh push/pull duties. By the late 1960s, the class 126 DMU’s operating the Edinburgh – Glasgow Queen Street service were becoming unreliable and they were replaced in 1971 by rakes of six Mark IIa carriages powered by two class 27 locomotives fitted with push-pull equipment. Twenty four class 27 locomotives were fitted with push – pull equipment and dual brakes and twelve of these were also fitted with electric train heating capability via an auxiliary engine/alternator set. Initially allocated 27123 under the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme (which did not differentiate between the two sub classes of push pull fitted class 27’s) it was almost immediately changed to 27205. The very intensive 90 mph service was demanding on the class 27 locomotives and reliability started to suffer with the class 27/2 sub class being prone to fire damage from their electric train heating equipment. Following the Glasgow-Edinburgh push/pull duties going over to class 47/7 operation in 1980 the push – pull and electric train heating equipment was removed from 27205 and it was renumbered to 27059. It was withdrawn in July 1987 and entered preservation and is currently (March 2022) located at Leicester MPD/.

NJT 4210 leads a weekend extra for URHS's open museum day, past the iconic Dixon Oil & Heating building in Mountain Lakes NJ. After dropping off passengers, the train would deadhead to Port Morris and end their day. Luckily the parking lot only hosted a company van to complement the shot.
