    ‘English Riviera Express’ - 34046 ‘Braunton’

    Hahahaha great minds think alike - I was on the other side of the bridge

    Your shot is far superior to mine as you had the light on the right side while mine is in shadow but I thought that a reasonable trade off to avoid the intrusive modern signal. That said, yours has good composition and detail (and that signal isn't too bad)

    I'll post mine in a minute.

    Cheers,
    John

              Please do. I'm away quite a bit during July and August but something local would be nice if I'm around.

                And rightly so

                But when the Torbay Expresses start later in the month they may get even more coverage if the earmarked traction is used:

                6201: Princess Elizabeth
                6233: Duchess of Sutherland
                60009: Union of South Africa

                Cheers,
