Can't say I'd have done that! I'd have got the camcorder out double-quick to record it on that as well as having photos! I'd probably photo the shed but I'd definately get as many photos as possible of the 87+86!

Nice, but a shame about that bit of dirt in the background...............

Twisted Evil

After some consideration I would say leave the shed in.
the 86 and 87 do not need any help to be beautiful but with the heap of scrap in the background it enhances the foreground.

Which 66 is that in the background anyway? Looks like one of the DRS 421-430 batch. Smile

My second entry for July is this cracker of Western Champion on 1Z52 Salisbury to Liverpool taken at Pikes Pool on the Lickey. Some tree clearing by myself and friends helped to open out the rear of the train too.

My third entry for July was an easy choice to go for, being as the weather played ball for me. 5029 'Nunney Castle' made a planned but nevertheless surprise appearance on The Shakespeare Express and is seen as it slogs passed Churchill Cottage on the climb to Wilmcote station with the 16:15 departure from Stratford Upon Avon

Best of luck everyone with your entries this month as always
