2014-02-19 Shildon, a set on Flickr.
This week sees the last opportunity in the foreseeable future to see all six preserved A4 Pacifics together. They are at Shildon until Sunday. I went on Wednesday and took a few photos. I had the privilege of standing on the footplate of 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower which will be returning to the US soon. I must also say thanks to Northern Rail for anticipating demand and putting extra stock on the Saltburn to Bishop Auckland route.

Here‘s the link if you don’t have flash.
The purpose of all those train journeys last Sunday was to meet up with Ann at Sewerby Hall. Naturally we both had cameras with us, Ann has already posted some of her pictures at Cake Cake Cake and she has picked some of her favourites from my flickr set to go here.
On Saturday we did our traditional pub walk in the North Yorkshire Moors, here’s a flickr slideshow of the pictures I took…
and for those without Flash here’s the flickr set.
I’ve had a few train trips to the York area in the past few weeks to see Ann – she’s been a big help to me in a difficult time.
Ann has already recorded some of these visits on her blog but here are some more pictures.
Fun at Malton Railway Station (plus an interesting shop front in Norton 0n Derwent and an equally interesting railway vehicle at York)…
At McArthur Glen, York, someone left a rather large Lindt Bunny out in the rain…
I met Ann in Malton on Sunday… we had a lovely afternoon and we both took lots of pictures.
