One from Corfe last weekend that would qualify for StilleSonntag if it wasn't for the insistent kettle noise.

One engine in steam, and the signal box was unmanned, so all working was from the Up platform, hence the wrong line working.

Nice to see a preserved locomotive looking slightly scruffy. Rolling stock was immaculate.

Taken on an actual camera and moving my photo workflow to Linux, so took 5x longer than usual!

@FourT4 Why does that mean it takes 5x longer?

@hischeekiness unfamiliarity.

@FourT4 Well that’s good, because it will improve soon. I wondered if it was features weren’t available and you had to do 10 steps instead of 1, or the software simply did it slower.

@hischeekiness It is quite slow; for hobby use it's quite entertaining to see a 20 year old laptop taking 20 seconds to apply lens distortion corrections.

@FourT4 Always loved the Battle of Britain class. Used to watch them coming into Bournemouth West from the school playground.

@FourT4 The Pines Express from Birmingham used to arrive in (AFAIR) the lunch break on Fridays.
Midlands engine and the occasional Pullman carriages.
