A view of three locomotives being worked upon by HNRC at Barrow Hill:

47815 "Great Western" is still owned by Riviera Trains based at Crewe however it, along with 47812 and 47843, are being used by GB Railfreight based out of Doncaster.

After partial overhaul at Carlisle Kingmoor and Glasgow Springburn Works, DRS's 37422 was moved to HNRC at Barrow Hill for rectification work and its overhaul to continue. Some bodywork issues remain to be seen to and, as can be seen, the multiple-working plug is a relatively recent addition.

Finally, Europhoenix's second locomotive 37884 can be seen on the far right of the picture. In comparison with 37800, this locomotive has been fully restored at Washwood Heath and is at HNRC for the completion of its overhaul and load banking. It is undergoing the latter in this picture and the associated wiring can be seen trailing from the side of the locomotive.

The class 47 is in service whilst both 'tractors' will be in service within the next year. Taken with permission on 07/12/2014.

Taken In March 2013 at Warnham LNR. Pity about the dark to light line through the head but nothing could be done to improve my position in time.

This is another one of my "almost" pictures. I tend to take a few shots, and then proclaim failure. If I had taken another 10 minutes to chimp, I know I could have dialed this shot in. Next time, I will do much more to set the light right. This really could have worked.

Two bare strobes, one left, one right. Lit from behind by the long shutter (gotta love that camera blur...well I do...). I really wanted the look of hard light for this shoot, but that day my 3rd flash decided to crap out on me. As a result, the three guys in the middle look great, and the ones on the end either get cooked or fall into shadow. What can you do?

Sorry. I'm just bitching. Feedback would be nice.

I miss the eighties effects!

Some everyday objects (for me at least, exept the pills, they are de-congestants).

The images on the left have too much contrast.

The images on the right have been adjusted to reduce contrast slightly so that they have a greater detail in the shadows and highlights.
