im finally back but the pc still aint fixed so ill get to doing that in the next few days. i will post some new pictures as soon as i get them printed. over the past 10 days i visited the churnet valley line, the great central line and the watercress line. i wasnt too impressed with the great central because there wasnt a lot going on there

and it only looked like they could steam about 3 steam locos at once where as watercress had about 7. i saw oliver cromwell and lord nelson awaiting overhauls on the great central which was nice and foxcote manor was standing outside. i got a few pics of the super d at the churnet valley too. when i got to the watercressline i was very please with what i saw:
Duke of gloucester awaiting minor work
Bodmin in the sidings
9f 92212 finishing its steam tests
standard 5 73096 in sidings in front of the black 5 the railway is restoring
A4 bittern being overhauled (didnt get any pics as it was too dark and too far away)
and in steam was black five "the sherwood forester" and merchant navy "canadian pacific" (one of my favourite locos)
i also took some pictures of southwest trains at poole, brockenhurst and beaulieu road. i saw the green slam door lymington EMU at brockenhurst all week and on the last day the blue and grey one was in use so i took some pictures of both. they both look fantastic.

does anyone have any idea when the dorset coast CD is realeased???
