Swanage railway branch line weekend...


With a back that's beginning to suffer from lugging heavy camera gear about, I aim at something more genteel today, and stumble upon the last knockings of the Swanage railway branch line weekend. Quite by chance I stopped at Corfe Castle to see what the railway was running, and despite the unpredictable weather trying to put a stop to my shooting, I wait with a handful of other railway enthusiasts who were equally determined to shoot whatever came by. The image, shot during an impromptu hail storm, shows a Standard Class 4 tank engine pulling the train, with an LSWR M7 tank engine at the rear, ready to pull the train in the opposite direction for the return journey.
