We’ve all been there… you wait for the perfect alignment, and then the railway decides to humble you! 😅📸

Take a look at this sequence from Tbilisi Didube Station. I was ready to capture some classic heavy freight action: a Georgian Railways VL11 (179) pulling a massive container train towards Azerbaijan, crossing paths with VL10-416 heading the opposite direction. It was setting up to be an epic meet... until VL10-931 rolled right through the foreground on an engineering train at the exact wrong moment! 🚂🧱

Always the risk in this Hobby...!

15 TAIGATROMMELS IN ONE FRAME! 🇭🇺🔊🚁

An absolute dream view from above! Panoramic drone perspective of 15 Soviet-built M62 "Szergej" heavy diesels lined up around the historic turntable at the Budapest Railway Museum during Loko Piknik.

📍 Budapest Vasúttörténeti Park, Hungary
🚂 Class M62 / 628 (Szergej)

Looks better in black and white as night photos with a drone are not the best of quality so i can only apologise for that**

Yerevan's architectural staircase: a total mood. Can't decide what I love more – the cascading design, the hidden artworks, or the view from the top. 🇬🇪 Which tier would be your first stop? ✨
