The North Norfolk Railway held it's Diesel Gala this weekend and with the promise of a Grid, had to be attended. Here's some action from Friday's outing.
With the general rundown of the BR/Brush Class 60 locomotive in full swing, plus the wonder of modern technology which is the mobile phone equipped with camera and Blogger, this blog will attempt to keep you informed as to the activities of the Class in its final days/months/years (?). It's also an excuse to have a dip into other items of interest to a typical rail enthusiast and of course, have the occasional rant!
NNR Diesel Gala
Alpha Thirty Three "live"!
Well, almost. Took this about 20 minutes ago actually.
Strange to think we used to have to wait to use a roll of film up and then another wait while it was being processed at the chemists before you even got an idea if the shot was actually any good!
NVR Gala
Motored off to the Nene Valley Railway on Sunday 19th of May, purely for the three (count 'em!) Class 56 locos on offer. They didn't disappoint of course!
Morning Spoon 2
The sidings more frequently used to stable locos at Stowmarket are currently occupied by on track plant, meaning DRS are using the siding further south. This affords pics from passing trains, this shot was obtained on this morning's commute to work.
Bass for your face Norwich!
Last night saw four of us aging B-boys head up to the UEA in Norwich to witness the mighty Public Enemy on their current tour. Local MCs Chrome and Illinspired warmed the crowd nicely before the headline act, Chuck D and Flavor Flav still tearing it up into their Fifties!
