Hammering towards Sonning Cutting at around 100mph 50 050 passes Waingels Lane. The train is the 10.15 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads. As it was only a class 50 I asked my wife not to bother wasting a frame of colour on it therefore she watches it pass without lifting her camera. 07/06/1975
50 050 was the original D400 it left Vulcan Foundry 07/10/1967 on 24st August 1978 it acquired the name 'Fearless' the loco was withdrawn 01/03/1994 and it is preserved.

Today at a photo session on Wharfdale Road bridge Tyseley three of the four "important" train photographs were spoiled by local trains passing between them and the camera, that has never happened to me here before. 68012 is passing at the head of the 09.30 London Marylebone - Stourbridge Junction crew training trip. The appearance of the 11.34 Great Malvern to Whitlock's End meant a very hasty switch to a wide angle zoom.
The saving grace was a very pleasant meeting and chat with two fellow Flickr members, also sufferers of the plague of London Midland 172's. Hi Steve!

This ghost sign is in good repair but difficult to photograph because of the narrow passage it faces, of course the weather proofing of the passage is why it is in such good condition.
The sign reads;
Harold. F. Ward Ltd
for
Radio - Electrical.
Murphy. H.M.V. Pye & co
The sign was painted over an earlier version thad was similar. .
