Whilst on a Photo Charter at Barrow Hill for the two visiting A4 + Bittern & Blue Peter, I photographed lots of other items of interest, so I thought a may as well share them here!
Diesels up first + one Electric.
Just in case anyone was wondering were Tornado was, well it's feeling poorly at BH.
I was told it took a week and a half to remove the cab, and there is over 1km of wiring to remove!
This was from one of the guys who is working on it.
Taken at twilight 18:15pm.
There is now a 1/4 mile branch line available at Barrow Hill and this nice little Loco provided the running up and down.
Next up is a couple of static Guard's Vans & Henry.
Now for the reason for the visit.
The brick works that was in the background has now been demolished, the two big chimneys have gone, no longer sticking out of the tops of locos.
Here's a nice unobstructed view of Butler Henderson.
I reached my allowed limit, so the couple that are remaining I'll put in another post.
