Decided to try some different locations for getting a picture of 6024 passing on today's Torbay Express. Arrived in Highbridge in pleasant sunshine and found a spot on the road bridge near the station. This location affords a long straight view of the track, with a slight curve in the distance. Chatted briefly to a couple of locals as we waited. Almost bang on time, the King steamed into view. Strangely, as I get to know more about this camera I start to doubt the settings are correct for what I'm doing - and a last second worry cost me what might have been one of my better shots.
Decided to wander over to Weston station this evening, along with about seventy other spectators. A rather late arrival meant darkness had all but descended when 6024 arrived. Time to play around with the camera a bit more, resulting in a curious but not technically very good picture of the King with a Weston sunset reflected in its GWR green paintwork.

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
