Created this image from a single shot, it's not perfect but then what is. I'm happy with it and I guess that's all that matters.
46100 'Royal Scot' is spot-lit by the sun as it emerges from the darkness of Milford Tunnel as the clouds loom on the way to Buxton on 29 September 2021.
46100 heads away from Buxton with a Charter returning to Hereford, the class 47 on the rear (removed in PS) will then lead through Ashwood Dale to Guide Bridge
Testing the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM and the Commlite adapter.
Full autofocus and speed/aperture, Really pleased with the quality of this lens, half the price of Sonys new 50mm f1.8.
A photo from Buxton Park in Indianola, Iowa with Simpson College in the background. This beautiful 5.4 acre park is an arboretum and botanical garden and a great place to spend some quiet time.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.
As fall sets in over Western Pennsylvania, Wheeling 218 exits Buxton Tunnel with a 3 pack of non corporates. Craighead Tunnel is directly behind me and unfortunately the shot from atop it is no longer possible due to branch growth. There is 18 tunnels to my knowledge on the W&LE active system, documenting them all would be one hell of a challenge.
Another dip into the archives. This time a shot from a visit to the network of freight only lines serving the quarries of the Peak District back in early 2018.
60015 threads through the backstreets of Buxton with a Heck Plasmor to Dowlow working on the former LNWR line to Ashbourne.
The last of the sunlight had just disappeared when the train homed into view. The low light resulted in a rather grainy shot but the location was too good not to post. I wasn't entirely happy with my original processing of this shot so I've given it another try in Lightroom.

Gaia is here to protect you.
Listen carefully and you will hear the gentle tinkling sounds of her magic being sprinkled over you as you pass by.

Stanier designed 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 no.45596 ‘Bahamas’ make’s a spirited departure from Buxton with the RTC’s Buxton-Ealing Broadway “Jubilee Buxton Spa Express”. "Bahamas" was fitted with the double chimney in 1961, but was withdrawn 5 years later.

In the latter part of the C18th the Cavendish family (Dukes of Devonshire) began to develop the little village of Buxton in the White Peak as a Spa town but the rapid expansion as a fashionable resort for wealthy Victorian society came with the advent of the railways in 1863. The Grade II listed Pavilion Gardens designed by the creator of the famous glasshouses at Chatsworth Sir Joseph Paxton, were opened in 1871 with the patronage of the Seventh Duke of Devonshire who gave the land to the town. In 1875 the Octagon was added and in 1927 Buxton Corporation assumed control of the 23 acre site including the Pavilion Gardens, the pleasure grounds and all the buildings. The Octagon lounge area was destroyed by fire in 1983 but was rebuilt and reopened in 2010 as the Pavilion Arts Centre. Taken with an SX-70 Alpha 1 on Polaroid B+W (TIP) film.

Buxton Crescent is the reincarnation of two once-upon-a-time, grand and gracious hotels, well known throughout Georgian England as the premier resting place for stylish spa seekers who came from all over the country to bathe in the thermal waters of Buxton.
It became a spa destination in Roman times, when a settlement was built around a clear, warm-water spring that still sends up more than one million litres a day from the original source underneath the Buxton Crescent.
The Crescent, designed by John Carr of York, houses the hotel and spa and is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in England. This makes staying in this 18th century building, together with chandeliers, painted ceilings, stained glass windows and fluted columns, feel more luxurious.
In a historic setting, Buxton Crescent offers traditional hydrotherapy, luxury spa treatments, lifestyle programmes and healthy cuisine, all the five-star amenities that discerning health travellers look for.
Its position in the heart of Buxton means that visitors can also explore a year-round programme of activities within the town and the Peak District.
The Buxton Crescent is an iconic, Grade I-listed, Georgian building; one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the country, and one of the first purpose-built hotels in the UK.
It was built by the fifth Duke of Devonshire in the 1780s as a centrepiece to establish Buxton as a fashionable Georgian spa town.
Restoration completed in 2020 it’s now a hotel once more. The building in the foreground is a tourist information centre.
