A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.

 

There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.

 

Here, Bulleid Pacific 34028 "Eddystone" a SR 4-6-2 loco at Swanage Station has run round the train which recently arrived and is in position at the front of the train I will travel on as far as Corfe Castle Station.

34028 "Eddystone" is taking on Water ready for the journey.

Today children, we are looking through the….…errm……derelict window!

Now settle down quickly and we’ll begin.

 

Lindsey, please stop flicking ink pellets at Mya! You know she promised to bring Pakora’s in for us. You will see Miss Trunchbull at break and be prepared to be hurled out of the window!

And why have you brought that extremely large measuring cylinder in? If I weren’t mistaken, I would think it was a yard of wine glass!

 

Edward Coulson, please may we have your attention and when we do, I would like you to explain to your classmates the fascination in staring at the 5 people standing at the bus stop in the pouring rain!

 

Brian, Brian, Brian, what does it say on the door?

Yes, it says ‘classroom’. It does not say ‘Petting Zoo! In future please leave your farmyard animals at home. I would also ask if you really consider pink wellies appropriate footwear for a juvenile pig?

Honestly a horse and a pig! And what on earth is that steaming pile behind your desk?

 

Miss Hedman, yes, yes, yes, you can be pencil monitor next week.

 

Master Rouse, for the N’th time (where N is a prime integer), please put your spreadsheet and slide rule away. You’ll be pleased to know that we will be studying equilateral triangles later.

 

Your task for today is to match the above images to the following creatures. Please note there may be more than one correct answer to an image.

 

A Dumbo

B Sea Lion

C Dragon

D Sloth

E Chow Dog

F Lesser Spotted Eejit

G Angry Bird

F Knight of the Round Table

G Gymnast

 

Have fun and don't ask the bloody obvious question.......😂

  

You're all pretty cool, so today's track chose itself

Such a great plant for spring build up here.

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.

 

When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.

 

Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 is posing for Photographs with a few freight wagons.

Three vertical slits on a wall that never learned how to listen. This is the Supreme Court dressed as a spreadsheet: all function, no feeling.

 

Shot straight-on, stripped of context, flattened for effect. Even the sandstone’s trying to disappear.

A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.

 

Here, 401 - "Vulcan" is leading Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" as a Double-Header has completed the journey back from Percy Main station to Middle Engine Lane.

Still in flower - It has been in flower since end of December. And still the amazing citrus fragrance from the blooms. You can smell it several metres away.

 

The bees love this shrub lonicera. Clearly a good winter plant to have close to hives (I am making a list of these)

A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Saturday of a 3 day Steam Gala,

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

There were 2 Visiting Engines and some of 5 of the Home Fleet Locomotives scheduled to run on an intensive timetable.

 

Here, on my first Steam Heritage Railway Visit of 2022, 52044 is resting at Keighley Station before becoming part of the motive power for a shuttle journey to Ingrow West and back.

 

52044, is a Barton Wright and Aspinall designed and Bayer-Peacock built 0-6-0, originally for the L&Y as no 957, later renumbered 12044 for the LMS and 52044 for BR.

52044 was the locomotive used as "The Green Dragon" in the 1970 film "The Railway Children".

A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.

Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.

  

Here, Kitson built No. 29 - The Lambton, Hetton and Joicey 0-6-2T Loco on loan from NYMR is on the way to the branch Line.

2999 was built in such a way that it can be a 4-4-2 or as here a 4-6-0 version of the GWR 2900 "Saint" Class, None of which survived into Preservation. Some parts from Hall or Manor Locomotives were used in the build to an original Churchward design.

A Photo from Day 6 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record but unfortunately I don't get any journeys on this day.

 

The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) runs trains along a 16 mile Heritage line from Kidderminster station to Bridgenorth station .Highly is one of the stations along the line and there is The Engine House Museum there.

 

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 4 steam Locomotive running on various Steam Excursions where due to Covid19, Compartments were being sold to families and there were some tables for groups of 2 or 4 people but nothing really suitable for the solo traveler.

 

Here, near Highley Station, I got my last photo of this visit to the Severn Valley Railway which was of 1501 as it was approaching the Station.

 

1501 is a Hawksworth designed GWR "15xx Class" 0-6-0PT loco which was built at Swindon Works.

I've been trying to get a picture of a bee on this for ages. So often the ones I am familiar with have flowers that are a bit too high. These ones in Dundee were all at head height or lower. Made for an enjoyable 10 minutes with the camera! Such a beautiful heady scent too - i hadnt realised that before!

 

Orange pollen load on view.

 

Will go on spreadsheet!

Clearly, this camera was done by a committee, not by, nor for photographers. However, once you accept the ergonomics disaster factor, you will soon realize what a beauty you've got on your hands.

Yes, I am liking it more and more.

A Photo from last Day of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

After an overnight in Doncaster, I went to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) for a trip up the 1 in 49 from Grosmont to Goathland.

 

Here, on the way back down to Grosmont Station, SR 825 is at the Grosmont MPD Coaling Station.

 

SR 825 is a Urie/Maunsell designed S15 Class 4-6-0 Locomotive built at Eastleigh Works for Southern Region.

I think I might have misjudged Foma Retropan 320. I wanted to develop a roll yesterday and couldn't find any straight info on what the time for Rodinal 1+50 would be, one person says 11 min, another - 17 min. Official Foma spreadsheet doesn't recommend Rodinal for this film, probably because they advertise it as "fine grain". All results from this film I found through my online research were everything but fine grain. Anyway, I had no other choice but to throw the film in the usual 1+100 dilution and give it an hour to develop. It came out a bit foggy, the base is greyish, instead of clear and transparent. The real surprise came this morning, after scanning it with a my old dying Canon. The dark tones are to my liking, the black is rich and the grain is indeed retro. Only downside I find is the softness, but then again it's called Retropan 320 soft. It's probably not a good choice for portraits, although I gonna give that a try out of curiosity.

Inspired by others who have created this in an image form, I wanted to document all the Poppy screening combinations. I'm keeping this in a Google document which is easy to edit and update: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HSdBjcd3OCSu0f7E4NUrcWpQJ... I'm also a data nerd, so there are some stats to check out if you are so inclined.

I spent an enjoyable 15 minutes on Saturday chasing bees with the camera on a single but very striking clump of this herbaceous perennial in the walled garden at Rowallane.

 

A superb plant, and makes for a very summery look in April.

Mild, sunlight breaking through the clouds, calm, people enjoying the beach, yet I can't actually reproduce the one thing that instantly made me think of spring, the smell, the irresistible smell of the coast.

Absolute magic after a day of looking at a spreadsheet!

A Day Trip to Yorkshire with the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, for the Sunday of a 2 day Event celebrating Lancashire and Yorkshire carriages, followed by going to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.

As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

Here, at the Stoneacre (Bogside) passing loop 52322 hauling the Dales Dining Train is passing the train I am on which is hauled by "Cumbria". Unfortunately I am not allowed to travel behind 52322 because EBA choose not to have an extra coach for those who like to travel behind all the Steam Locos working that day.

A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.

 

There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.

 

Here, 31806, a Maunsell designed SR U Class 2-6-0 loco has just Hauled a train with me on it past Corfe Castle back to Norden Station and has paused on the run round loop for an inspection by the footplate crew. This is my last photo of this trip to Swanage Railway and it is the West Somerset Railway next.

A Photo from Day 9 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.

 

When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.

 

Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 has kindly moved off to some sidings to allow BR Std. 4 Loco no. 80078 a Riddles designed and Brighton Works built 2-6-4T to do a run round the carriages after it has been on a round trip along the Heritage line and to prepare for the next trip. This was my last photo of the day before a long journey to an overnight in Doncaster and a visit to NYMR on the way home.

My plan for the day was to teach four staff basic EXCEL. One of the staff was then going to develop a spreadsheet that she would be using daily. For a variety of reasons, three of the staff were unable to make it. The one who I would still be going through this with is also a friend who has frequently met 'Kath'. I phoned her up first thing and told her there was a change of plan "my P.A. will be teaching you EXCEL". So this is how I looked while we were working together on her spreadsheet.
