40145 at West Drayton (Stockley Park) on 12Apr08. Working was the 05.15 Birmingham to Lowestoft. Sun, true to form, disappeared shortly before the whistler arrived, still a nice toot from the driver was a bonus :)

40145 powers through West Ruislip on 1Z40 Salisbury/Manchester return, Saturday 25Nov06. Shot settings are 1/160 sec at f2.8, ISO1600, one of my first hand held night shots of a moving subject. The approach of the 40 could be heard from miles away on this cold November night.

The Banbury/Old Oak ECS (5Z56) was diverted through High Wycombe instead of along the GWML, seen at Denham on 9Sep07. Big up TR on RailGen for the heads up.
