Crikey, plenty more brilliant entries to choose from!

The Crunchy Nutter: Now I've seen those entries, all I could say was WOW! Very nice!

Mr. Parker at Birkhill.



and my third entry has to be because it has generated so much interest.

Got everything fixed and back to normal. Here is 186 (which I believe is also a J15 class loco) passing through Balbriggan on Sunday 28/09/08 on the return leg of a train trip from Dundalk to Dublin to mark 50 years of the end of the GNR(I).

Out of interest, can I replace my original entry with a better photo of it?

Got one to replace it (it's the same loco at the same location but a bit better looking) as well as a couple of other entries.

d6841, love that shot of 57311. Same for those 37s.

This month promises to be an interesting one as usual!

Weren't you? I don't remember that...

Either way, I have decided on a second entry:



57307 stands at Liverpool Lime Street at the buffers of platform 8 having dragged a 390 (I'll check which one it was if anyone is interested, if so let me know) from Crewe to Liverpool Lime Street via Styal and Warrington Central. The date, 13th September 2008.

My next entry will be decided shortly.

I might have made a wrong decision, but my third and final entry has been decided on:

221132 waits for departure from Reading's platform 3 on the 1910 Reading to Wakefield Westgate on 27th September 2008. Sadly the bright sun and warmth experienced earlier on in the day in Bognor Regis had worn off by now. The Voyager was terminating at Wakefield Westgate due to the Bradway Tunnel blockade.

A 90 on a mail train in the freezing fog rings a bell!!!

Anyway, you can change your entry if you wish, I doubt anyone will mind....

Hmm,I don't remember at all...Bizarre.

I'll make a final decision on whether to change my first entry later.

there is an old story... As you get older two things start to fail......the first is your memory..... I can't remember what the second is

When one learns something new to the brain it tends to push something old out of it...

Must be a reason why I fail to remember it. I'll dig through the archives and see what was debated.

My entries for September are:

40145 approaching Cockwood on the return of 'The Torbay Whistler'.


66176 nearing its destination of Long Rock with the loaded fuel tanks at Marazion.


5029 working hard up the gradient at Sandhurst with the return of 'The Mid-Hants Explorer'.

My third entry...

Another one from my World Tour of Europe:
