A Photo from Day 5 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 East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, 46447 is just about to power the next round trip.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

22.5.2016. LMS Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-0 No 46521 and GWR Modified Hall 4-6-0 No 6990 'Witherslack Hall' pull into Quorn & Woodhouse station with a train for Leicester North.
Martin Creese's charter at the Midland Railway on 3rd March 2014, featuring visiting Ivatt Class 2 No. 46521, was blessed with full sunshine all day and was rounded off by some superb light prior to sunset. This scene rekindles memories of a branch line passenger train trundling along, as No. 46521 heads two passenger coaches and a van across the causeway that spans Butterley Reservoir.

Duffield Departure...
On hire to the Ecclesbourne Valley from the Great Central, Standard 2 No.78018 is seen leaving Duffield with the Ex1210 Duffield to Wirksworth on a very hot summers day. Was expecting any clag out of this with the temperature at 30 degrees!
Taken on the 29th June 2019.
On our photowalk last Saturday it took a Montrealer to show us that minutes away from the Parliament buildings, Ottawa has it’s own unique whitewater paddling course, called the Pumphouse.
It’s a class 2 course where recreational or competitive paddlers can learn, and practice.

A weekend away started at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough with a visit to their Autumn 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.

SR K class2-6-4T A808 RIVER DART, built Brighton November 1926. Rebuilt U class 2-6-0 July 1927. Later numbered 1808. Renumbered 1808 November 1949 and withdrawn January 1964.
Class 2 46470, formerly of Kirkby Stephen, ended its days at Tyseley. It is seen here on a Bordesley-Princes End
pick-up goods at Blowers Green Junction, having exchanged the wild landscape of Stainmore for something more prosaic.
18th August 1966
The former GWR locomotive depot at Oxley had closed as a running shed in early March 1967 but continued receiving engines for boiler washouts for a few months after. BR Standard Class 4 75033 from Carnforth is present for that purpose on 18th June 1967. Condemned locomotives, Stanier 8F 48180 and Ivatt Class 2 46446 await disposal while a VW Campervan provides an interesting counterpoint.

BR Standard Class 2 78018 cruises towards Loughborough Central Station with the Windcutter rake of mineral wagons past the Charnwood Water footbridge. On the photo I notice the reflections of the trackside scenery on the smoke-box door, cylinder, dome and buffers. A tribute to the superb standard of preparation of the locos under the care of Great Central Railway.

Here, at Cranmore Station, my last photo on this visit to ESR is of 46447 which has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a day rover ticket for and which I joined at Cranmore West station after visiting the Sheds.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.
