Rood Ashton Hall Loco

Managed to get two bites of the cherry with this one,one of my favourites, as it travelled from Tysley to Cardiff via Gloucester and returned in golden late afternoon (5.00pm) light which was a great improvement on the conditions in the morning.It left at 6.00pm and an ISO of 3200 was required as the light was fast disappearing.

Approaching Gloucester station.

Outside Gloucester en-route to Cardiff

Returning From Cardiff

Leaving for Tysley. ISO 3200 as light fast fading.

no. 3 is the pick of the bunch for me, all obviously taken in the evening in low light conditions..like them all

Cheers,Rob. I've been to that field before,it's a decent spot..I got the Black Fives there a few weeks ago but must find another location on that Cardiff run but we've got nothing here for ages, I'll have to travel.

Lol..yes he does doesn't he. I wonder if he ever got on a footplate ?

Thanks for the comment. I do wonder if some should be in B&W or sepia. though so I did a few versions(virtual copies) and they look pretty good,especially the sepia but the green is superb and the carriages.

A very nice set there. Like No 4 best.

Nice set John, number 3 from the field is really nice.

Thanks both.
I really like number 4 too, Trevor but I'm not quite sure why. The light was excellent so that helped a lot,as ever

This is a favourite spot,Michael. I would have gone further along but just got there in time,maybe spent too much time at the station. It's 5 minutes from the station to that point..for the train..12-15 minutes by car through town...a few sets of lights en-route too.
