My first entries pick themselves really, lets see if I can get a third before the end rather than a compromise.

First up is Oliver Cromwell crossing Ribblehead Viaduct recreating a moment in history 40 years apart



Second up is 33s 207+025 on 'The Dorset Coast Explorer' accelerating through Wadborough



Stay tuned for a 3rd?!?!?!?!?
Best of luck to all with your entries

67006 arrives at Folkestone Harbour hauling the ECS to a VSOE from Folkestone West on Thursday 14th August 2008



20315 leads 20306 past Swamp Crossing on the freight only Dungeness Branch working the weekly 6M95 Dungeness-Willesden nuclear flasks on Thursday 14th August 2008

I'll decide on a third photo nearer to this competition's closing time.

Not the best shot in the world, but it makes a change to see a Scottish unit among the entries... 334027 arives at Glasgow Central

My 3rd entry for this competition.


Unrebuilt Battle of Britain Pacific no. 34067 Tangmere is seen in the Kent countryside shortly after departing from Faversham with The Spitfire to Ramsgate on 30/08/08/

Is it just me or are other people finding they can't view the photos that have been entered already? Most of them are showing up with a red cross in a white box for me.

Whilst I know that my third entry comes from my recent foray at Kings Sutton, the dilemma has been whether to go for a shot in good light, or the good train. Result of indecision below Laughing Laughing



I thought it better to choose something else rather than kick myself deciding between the two other options.

Best of luck to everyone again this month

My entries this month, 2 of the 3 taken along 'my' line! Very Happy Found the last entry hard to decide but in the end went for the diverted mail.

The 'Duchess' tundering past Amen Corner.


Freshly repainted 59005 on the 6V67 approaching Wokingham.


57303 hauling 325002 & 325008 along the GWML at Purley on Thames.
