Doesn't look like we'll be getting a white Christmas this year but that doesn't bother me. To make it up, enjoy this snowy scene from my usual perch about a month ago- the classic shot of 6M01. 66788 "Locomotion 15" storms up the snow covered gradient towards Dore Station Junction.

810004 at Chesterfield, 23rd July 2024 I'm looking forward to actually sample these...

Advent Day 22: KWVR Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T no. 41241 Our third to last entry is one of the prettiest locos I've seen regularly, the "Lady in Red" herself, 41241. The KWVR's star loco. She looks absolutely stunning in her red livery! I've had her a few times this year, but this shot was my favourite.

Approaching Sellafield. 21 July 2018. #photography #railway

Some more "Polar Express" action as 47773 leads through Bentley Heath with 7029 'Clun Castle' trailing on the back on 1Z14 Birmingham Moor Street to Dorridge.

Advent Day 17: Europhoenix Class 37 37218 The first of the last 7 days... And of course it's a 37! 37218 from the 21st of August to be exact. The noise she was making can be heard through the image if you imagine hard enough! Absolutely deserved place on the advent calendar!

Grey skies, grey locos, but far from feeling grey! How could you with these two stunners as the backdrop to a days volunteering?! @GCRNottingham #TypeOneLocomotiveCompany

The British branch line scene as recently as 2021... Although surprisingly modern in comparison to the rest of the fleet, 144011 is by no means out of place as she arrives into Oakworth.

Used to love watching & listening to these pass my house on loaded mgr’s in the 80’s. On 2nd September 2014 the driver of Colas class 56 loco 56096 receives a clear green & applies the power and the grid thrashes past Water Orton working 6E07, the Washwood Heath to Boston steel. Lovely stuff

What’s better than a grid? Two grids & 6,500hp👌🏻 25th August 2015 DCR class 56 locos 56103 and 56312 approach Water Orton working 6Z34, the empty box wagons from Cardiff Tidal to Stockton service. Even though there was a fine drizzle falling there was no way I was missing this one. The noise😮😁

#SulzerSunday 47848 bears down on me with the 1Z30 Kings Cross to Lincoln railtour. Plenty of clag from the big 47 but not a lot of noise. @westcoastrail

Sleaford, 1978 Sunday Diversions Deltic 55021 “Argyll & Sutherland Highlander” passes Sleaford North signal box with the King’s Cross - Aberdeen service 📷 D Hayes

And here's the last picture I took in the twentieth century, 158816 passing Hilsea on a Cardiff to Portsmouth service on December 23rd 1999.
