My favourite of the year have got to be...

All four of the FR's working fairlies, summer 2006

It's not a railway, but it's prettyful..and one of my favourite photos this year

The FR's David Lloyd george, from the 'dark side' at Minffordd

Got to be my best photo of the year, DLG leaving Garnedd tunnel, ffestiniog Railway.

Hi all,

Just registered on this forum today and this thread caught my eye. Had a quick look through my website and these are the ones that caught my eye. Though it would probably be six others tomorrow.

You may notice I've been a little Severn Valley bound in 2006. Oh well....here's to 2007

Some very nice shots of the Valley there- shows our line off well. You ask why 'The Last Turn' was hung on 7802 rather than 1501- that's because the driver of 7802 has reached 70 during the year and that was his last footplate turn before he stepped down.

Its a sad thing really as its going to be a big problem for SVR and similar organisations within the next few years- the balance bewteen enough promotions to keep replacing those being lost at the top and gaining sufficient experience to becomoe competent before promotion.
