N.Y.M.R. LNER Festival.

[Swiss Toni]

I spent the day at the NYMR LNER festival (http://nymr.co.uk/enthusiasts/lner-festival-2008-news) and it absolutely hissed down for most of the day.
Anyway enough of the moaning, lets see what you think of these.

First up 4771 "Green Arrow" approaching Levisham with the first train of the morning.

There were three A4's working and this is 60019 "Bittern" also heading for Levisham.

Hope you like them, they were all taken with my new 40D (which I just lurrrve!) with either 70/200mm F4L or 17/40mm F4L.

Please note my car was parked straight at all times! ;)

But you have sunshine in that last shot! Nice group of shots....the 60007 is a beauty.

Is there one pushing and one pulling in the train to Grosmont? It sure looks that way.

Sod's law, the sun came out at the end of the day. :rolleyes:

Spot on, I wish I could remember what it was.

Here's a passenger train getting a push later in the day. Sorry it's a bit out of focus.

Great pictures but they are all kettles did they not have their Class 55 Deltic running?

I love the captures. Great scenery too and the overcast conditions add to the mood.

Of course they were all steam, it was an L.N.E.R. festival! Check out May 9/11 in THIS LINK (http://nymr.co.uk/news/events-2008) for the diesel gala.

Sorry it's a bit out of focus. Great trains! Someday, you really should get off auto exposure, though! ;)
