Any particular type of bird? Obviously not a small bird like a Wren, as it wouldn't be able to carry your camera. Albatross? Can be tricky retrieving the camera though as they don't tend to land....

Obviously a humming bird to ensure a stable platform and avoid camera shake!

More crash without disassembly. Take off is none too good either.

Hi Tim,

It was good to catch up with you at the Rattery show yesterday. It's good to know that you're now on the mend after your various health issues.

Did you get lunch in Rattery, or did you return to South Brent?

Likewise, Phil.

We overate massively in the delightful Church House Inn, in Rattery.

Much better scoff, than a chippy run after dropping the layout back in the clubroom.

The approach to Ham Lane level crossing.

Wonderful photos CK, but isn't the nearest level crossing road traffic sign facing the wrong way

Actually Chris, it's there for the narrow gauge crossing, just ahead of it but out of shot.

Oh CK, didn't spot that. Should have looked back through previous photos

Going back in time, Templecombe;s 75023 hurries a Bristol TM to Templecombe semi-fast across the Cam Brook, just to the west of Engine Wood station:


A year or so later, the same loco is recorded on a rare visit down the branch from Glastonbury:

Cam Brook looks delightful even after all this time Tim.
Cheers Julian

73051 of Bath Green Park shed, hurries a northbound semi-fast across the Cam Book. It will call at Engine Wood and then run fast to Bristol TM:
