In the early evening light, GBRf Class 66, no.66779 'Evening Star' approaches Hellifield with the 6E77 16:43 Arcow Quarry to Hunslet aggregates train. I've always loved the wonderful Midland Railway architecture at Hellifield Station, and I wanted to make a feature of it using the platform canopy in this shot.
2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle (of which I'm very proud to be a member) with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last 50 years.
The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' is available to buy now. Click on the link below to order your copy:

A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The size variation of aggregate chunks in the base course layer tells the story of a roadway constructed originally from well-graded materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock. The breakup of pavement behind and to the left of Pelon – at the gutter – suggests that poor drainage played a role in this failure, and absence or repair has allowed water to saturate the base layers and complete the failure. This road has failed due to neglect and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.

Attending early on Monday having seen that the Bardon Aggregates train on its allotted early path, 03:04, was over 2 hours late starting from the quarry and had then been cancelled before it got to Mantle Lane, 28 minutes away due, it was reported, to a 'points failure'. The working, 6E48, was then re-timed for a 05:10 departure which meant the working was going to be late here though in the event the stops en-route weren't taken so it managed to pick up some time, arriving at 09:30 but still 2.5 hours later than the original working would have arrived. This meant its activity would be timed at a more convenient time in the morning and so these shots show both this and as a complete surprise, a DBS 60, 60066, (built in August 1991) 'John Logie Baird' doing in the Yard what it was built for; shunting wagons and making up a consist for the late afternoon working to Immingham Dock. At top left, a composite to get the two trains in the frame with maximum aspect! we see in the background, GBRf class 66, 66755 stood on the Bardon Aggregates line, the rear wagons being slowly pulled through the building where the wagons' contents are disgorged; timed this was taking round 5 minutes each and there were 20 wagons in the consist of 2400 tonnes. In what is now ALL that is left of Tinsley Yard on the north-east side next to the M1 motorway, silver liveried DBS (DB Schenker) class 60, 60066 is pulling billet wagons along into the Yard having recently reversed them out of the Outokumpu works, seen behind the Aggregates facility in the top left picture, and is binging them into the Yard to couple up with additional billets and some empties. In the second of the four shots (from more than a hundred taken!), the billet wagons have been taken down the line, crossed over and then shunted onto the front of a similar set, which was standing on the first road right in front of the camera. Then, the 60 has run forward and set back through the points at the end of the Yard once more and then backed down the third road to hook onto some empty wagons of the same kind. This picture shows one of the two staff present releasing the 'handbrake' on the first of the line of EWS labelled wagons. In the lower left picture the 60 has pulled these forwards and then reversed these onto the line of fully loaded billet wagons on the first road. Finally the 60 pulls the whole line of wagons forward and uncouples them at the points where one of the staff is stood on the right in the last picture. The 60 then takes the empty 4th road and moves off, light engine to await its outward passage this evening when it will couple onto the other end of the line and take these forward out of the Yard through Shepcote Lane Junction, along past Tinsley south and east junctions and so to Immingham. Easy! The inward working, 0J03, this morning set off at 03:51, 19 minutes early and arrived here at 05:40. This evening the working is 6D03, Tinsley back to Immingham at 19:25, 16 minutes early and arrives Immingham at 22:20, 13 minutes early.. All this is a good example of just what the Yard used to be for but with a much more intensive service!
