NEW Added 5 February 2026 - Nene Valley Railway and Leicester (11 January 2026)
I was asked to light a night shoot at the Nene Valley Railway, which was very enjoyable and great fun. Not longer after I got home from this, I heard about a lash up on 6A23, so I headed up to Leicester Depot for a picture of it passing by.


NEW Added 5 February 2026 - East Midlands Airport, Copley's Brook and Rearsby (10 January 2026)
After a brief and productive spell at East Midlands Airport, it was off over to Copley's Brook and Rearsby for a couple of freights. No pole today, as I had my dog with me.


Added 6 January 2026 - East Midlands Airport and Quorn (4 January 2026)
A quick trip over to EMA, mainly to capture the Atlas Air 777 on stand 83 and an Ethiopian Cargo 777, then a quick call in at Quorn on the GCR for a picture of a DMU.


Added 6 January 2026 - Severn Valley Railway (3 January 2026)
A trip over to the Severn Valley Railway for their Winter Steam Gala.


Added 6 January 2026 - A Grid a Shed and a Little Bit of Snow (2 January 2026)
With a bit of snow on the ground, I took 56098 down the sidings at Asfordby to pose it on the front of a couple of Mk3s, then I stopped off at Copley's Brook for a dirty 66718 on the way home.
