A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON A TRUE LEGEND! 💙🚂🔥

60007 Sir Nigel Gresley leaving Grosmont during the recent North Yorkshire Moors Railway autumn gala! 👀📸

I’ve always wanted to capture a reverse angle looking down the length of SNG, and I finally got the shot! 🙌💙

With more mainline tours planned for the rest of the year, I’m hoping to get out and see her in action again soon — and I genuinely can’t wait to capture her out on the mainline! 🚂💨

Are you hoping to see SNG on the mainline soon, or have you already caught her out on tour? 👇

POWERING UP THE GRADIENT! 🚂💨🔥

Some serious steam action from 4079 Pendennis Castle at the Churnet Valley Railway Gala back in May 2024! 👀

Climbing the steep gradient towards Ipstones, right at the end of the line — and putting on an absolute show! 💨💚

The plume, the steam and that unmistakable sound of a steam locomotive working hard… it doesn’t get much better than this! 📸🚂

Have you seen 4079 in action recently? 👇

BACK TRACKSIDE FOR MAINLINE STEAM! 🚂🔥

The Derby Shakespeare Express! 💚

After my last mainline tour outing at the end of September to catch Tornado, it was brilliant to finally get back out for another one — and what a way to do it! 👀💨

7029 Clun Castle passing Willington Station, just before Burton, hauling the Vintage Trains Ltd tour from Derby to Stratford-upon-Avon.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a Castle Class out on the mainline! I’m so glad I got the chance to capture this moment. 📸🚂

Here’s to more mainline steam adventures! 🔥

A little look back at a brilliant day with Vintage Trains Ltd 🚂💚🔥

7029 Clun Castle, proudly carrying The White Rose headboard earlier this year, looking magnificent on the mainline! 👀💨

This is a different angle from a shot I captured back in July, but just as special to look back on! 📸

With another Vintage Trains tour coming up on Sunday, I’m already looking forward to getting trackside again! 🚂🔥

Here’s to another brilliant day of mainline steam!

Flying Scotsman back in the spotlight! 🚂🔥

LNER A3 60103 — one of Britain’s most iconic steam locomotives, and always a special sight on any mainline. 💚💨

With Fox & Edwards Events and Vintage Trains Ltd continuing to bring the Scotsman to the mainline on some brilliant tours across the UK, it’s fantastic to see this legend still creating excitement for railway fans. 👀🚂

This shot was taken during an earlier outing at Ruddington, but it’s brilliant to see the Scotsman continuing to get out there and doing what she does best!

Long may the mainline steam adventures continue. 🔥

A welcome surprise! 🚂🔥

70000 Britannia on the move to Carnforth — and a very welcome chance to see her again for the first time since April! 👀💨

Sometimes the best railway moments are the unexpected ones, and I certainly wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to get out and see Britannia back on the move. 🇬🇧🚂

Always a magnificent sight on the mainline! 🔥

A plume to remember. 🚂🔥

No. 926 Repton working through the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Autumn Gala — and what a sight she was! 💨

That enormous cloud of exhaust rising above the Moors made for one seriously memorable moment behind the camera. 👀🚂

The NYMR gala certainly delivered some incredible steam action! 🔥

The King is back! 👑🚂🔥

After a weekend at the Nene Valley Railway , 6024 King Edward I heading back towards Crewe — and I couldn’t resist getting out to see her again. 💨

The response to my first photograph of the King was absolutely incredible, so it was brilliant to have another opportunity to capture this magnificent locomotive on the mainline.

That green livery, the unmistakable presence and the sound of a King at work… there’s something special about seeing 6024 out on the rails. 👑🔥

And if the first outing was anything to go by, this certainly won’t be the last time she makes an impression! 👀🚂💨

A little throwback to May. 🚂🔥

61306 Mayflower at Shrewsbury with the Welsh Marches Express. 💨🚂

One of those classic railway moments where the locomotive, the station and the atmosphere all come together perfectly. 👀🔥

Always loved this one from a brilliant day back in May 💚

A day fit for a King. 👑💨

6024 King Edward I on the move to the Nene Valley Railway — and my first time ever seeing a king! 🚂🔥

With her recent restoration and plenty of attention surrounding her return to the rails, this was one I definitely didn’t want to miss.

Safe to say, she didn’t disappoint. 👀💨

And with the Nene Valley Railway weekend still to come… this is only the beginning. 🚂🔥
