Hey Guys,

The below pics are my first attempts at rail photography, ever, so please, please, please be nice, i'd really appreciate it. Feel free to comment

Class 47 367 and 31 207 coupled to eachother at Sheringham.

A closeup of 47 367's front.

Three distant shots taken from the top of the Sheringham hill.

90775 pulling into Weybourne.

On the other side of the footbridge.

Another View facing towards Holt, with more of the station.

The J15 Pulling in from Holt.

The J15 just coming to a halt, with the end of 90775's train in view.

Forgotten the name of this loco, but it is pulling into Sheringham platform 2

A closer view of the front.

Once coupled onto the carridges, I got to have a peek around the cab

Hope you liked them!

Sam

Very nice

Just one comment - forget digital zoom! I see you used it in one of the shots, and while it does give that extra zoom it also causes a severe quality loss, as it zooms in on the picture, not actually the subject, if you get what I mean.

Excellent photos! 90775 does seem to spend more time in service than out - which obviously isn't a bad thing

. Better than that diesel...thing anyway

. By the way, I believe that's our Class 27.

The B12 is currently up at the East lancs, where I've had the pleasure of firing her a many times. Don't know abou the 'swap' as we've never had 90775, but i'll be sad to see 61572 go
