Items added on 7th May 2017 Those added most recently come first

With the catastrophe of Roger Winnen's CRS website being off the air I have decided to put a few on in the features section. However, please, in the hope that Roger is back on line tomorrow don't send in too many.  By the way Roger is still out chasing the train so goodness knows how many he'll end up with - you know Roger!!      KJ

Congratulations on that million to one picture Peter. He replied - Many thanks for your kind words, Keith.  I had used that location before and wished that a train would come down the branch.  I saw the 153 in the station, with a departure of 1324.  The locos were due through the main line platforms at 1329.  I thought that the time between the branch platform and the viaduct might be two or three minutes.  And the locos were a couple of minutes early - and Hey Presto, my luck was in !

All the best,  Peter
