483004 to Shanklin

A South Western Railway service arrives in platform 6 at it's Waterloo destination, spot on time 57 minutes after setting off from Dorking at 07.30. On the right hand side in platform 7, an eight coach formation of class 158 and 159 units will form the 08.50 departure to Salisbury.

The arrival from Dorking is formed of a class 701 Arterio unit, which are gradually entering service with SWR a few years later than originally planned due a combination of reasons. The wikipedia link below gives more detailed information.

Resident Class 31 D5631 approaches Dead Man's Hill on the North Norfolk Railway, with the 1400 Sheringham to Holt demonstration goods train - 06/04/2024.

Another enjoyable day spent back up at the North Norfolk Railway, this time for the 60th Anniversary of Closure event.

This train was my number one photographic target of the day, as I had never seen the demonstration goods train in action before.

I didn't think I had much chance of a sunny shot to be honest, as the cloud cover proved to be very stubborn to clear on this visit to the North Norfolk coast. However, I did get a bit of weak sun at this spot, just as the train passed by.

Class 141 unit 141011 arrives Castleford with the 1400 Leeds to Knottingley service on a dull 12th July 1984.

Mark my words, one day these units will achieve the legendary status their service warrants.

Or perhaps not...

Class DC40 + Class DC47

Sooooo… it's only fitting that my first post while in Melbourne Australia be of Charlie! This is Kristen Cook's gorgeous new little addition (and sleepy I might add). She had contacted me WAY back in the early stages of her pregnancy asking if I could come and visit her lovely city and do a baby posing class! At the time I thought it was crazy to travel that far (over 10,000 miles one way and 20+ hours in a plane), but how could I turn down such an adventure. Well what an adventure it has been. While I'm here I will teach to 52 Australian photographers and spend 14 days. I have had more than just a good time and looking forward to the next 3 classes and seeing more of Melbourne. This is from day 2 of the first class. Thanks Gemma for bringing this lovely pram for us to play with... what a challenge it was to use, but oh so rewarding!

and edited on my laptop so not knowing if it's looking great! I hate working on laptops!

Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.

Model is my amazing friend Rob Woodcox.

This was taken during my trip to Detroit in July, we spent the afternoon exploring St.Agnes school and when we came to this large room with the chair in the corner, I knew that Rob and his wonderful outfit would be the perfect match for my concept.

I wish I could have spent a whole week in Detroit exploring all the amazing locations that we saw while we drove around the city.

Next time!

I always liked the look of these Swindon built Class 123 DMUs, although this is the only picture I ever took of one, seen departing Doncaster on a Hull to Manchester service in February 1984. On their last legs at this time, they were withdrawn a few months later.

This is the final picture I will post from our trip to France. It all concluded on our final night with a cooking class in Paris. Our main dishes were crepes and a fruit salad. There was not much of a learning curve for either but they were delicious.
