Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Not sure if this counts as "In the landscape", but anyway. 800305 flashes through Castle Cary with 1C94 1904 Padd - Plymouth yesterday. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted October 8, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm very happy to see them Peter as the landscape they are in (night-time) is unusual and they aren't three-quarter views taken at a the platform ends. There's been some lovely entries to this thread lately, keep it up everyone. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Davexoc Posted October 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Looking towards Heckington, church to the right, windmill just visible on the left. I usually found the sails were never pointing in the right direction for a good shot anyway....

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 More your typical "landscape" stuff... GW IETs 800011 + 800017 work 1A21 1300 Bristol TM - Padd, near Corston. That was the village where famous railway photographer Ivo Peters grew up in. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanfit Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Not sure if this is 'landscape' but plenty of atmosphere I think. Cravens DMUs - cant you just feel the doors/windows/drop lights/seats/luggage racks/bodyside paneling/floor/etc all resonating! 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The Craven rattle and roll went to lowestoft from Norwich once and it seemed as though the whole unit was alive plus the smell of deisel all combined to give you a memorable ride. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanfit Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My 'fondest' memories were on the short ride from Kings Cross to Finsbury Park which gave the full Cravens experience in only a few minutes, accelerating and vibrating up through Gas Works Tunnel , especially in the winter with the heaters blasting out more exhaust fumes than hot air, was a sensory experience never to be forgotten! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I thought I'd keep the ironwork of the bridge in the photo, as it's characteristic of many ex-GW lines. This example dating from 1899 from a firm in Chepstow. We're at Westbury again last Friday, as a Cardiff to Portsmouth train arrives. Class 166s in FGW Blue are in a minority nowadays. The power signalbox is the building to the right in the shot. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the colour version in this circumstance. The fgw blue is a good colour scheme. If it was the new GWR green i think that would be a much closer call for me. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like both, but I think the colour version just takes it for me too. I'm a fan of both the FGW Blue & GWR Green liveries. If the unit had been in Green, I reckon I would have preferred the Black & White version, as the diagonal bodyside stripe, and lack of such prominent bodyside writing, would have looked classier than the Black & White version of the Blue livery !! Either way, great photo !! Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Thanks Phil. I'm leaning more to B/W photos nowadays. Oh look, here's a green one arriving from Worcester... Edited October 30, 2021 by Peter Kazmierczak 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's the B&W one for me Peter, but not just for the attractive contrast (which helps bring out the texture in the rivetted girder) but the additional cropping has removed the ugly cabinets surrounded by weeds from the right of the shot).
