The Great Eastern Freighter

It makes a change, this tour was in our neck of the woods but with money tight negating the opportunity to travel on it, Dad and I took the motor out and chased it instead.
I mostly used the video to record its passage (and will post footage next time I'm on the Mac) but a recent software acquisition on the phone is "Frame Grabber" for Xperia. A super little bit of code, it'll allow you to turn a frame from video into a medium sized jpeg, just the thing with the camera doing its funny business lately!

21st-23rd June Tour Weekend Pt.2

Saturday was tour day itself, Matlock to Derby initially, to board the tour for a trundle round South Yorkshire with plenty of red bits thrown in. Paperwork issues though saw Ferrybridge depot caped and the Hunslet branch barely amounted to a few yards in length.

The Thames Angerman

Dad and I took in Pathfinder's end of year jaunt around London and enjoyed the company of 56094 and 60092 on Saturday 22nd.
