[Leica] Its steam train time again- - this year's shots

[philipprice80 at yahoo.com (Philip Price)]

Hi Douglas, I meant to tell you, I went to the Severn Valley Autumn Gala?on 
Sunday but was a little disappointed it did not live up to expectations, for 
me personally the only star was Kinlet Hall, it seemed as well that people 
stayed away, it was very quiet. I have got a lovely photo of Earl of Mount 
Edgecombe on the Shakespeare Express from three weeks ago arriving at 
Tyseley, she was in spanking condition with steam to spare. Regards Phil

Thanks Philip,

the day I was there the locomotives were not exactly the most 
spectacular either - Sir Nigel and the Black 5s were being given a once 
over in the sheds and the Schools Class "Repton" only turned up on 
another day when we were in Pickering on market day - it pulled up about 
6 feet away from our table where we were having coffee - interesting 
that there was a group of about 10 young ladies learning "footplate 
awareness" on that day.

I noticed this year that the Southern 825 now also has smoke deflectors 
- doesn't look half as good as without - in fact, all in all the beast 
is beginning to look a bit tatty.

Best from Hannover
Douglas
