Great central Railway - Winter Gala January 2005
5th March 2005

This was my first visit to the Great Central with a lineside pass. This enabled me to go almost anywhere in search of that elusive perfect shot.

The sun came out for the first half hour then overcast and even a spot of drizzle. Typical English winters day.
