47580, 47790, 47832 and some 20s to boot!

A trip south and further afield from my usual stomping ground today to sample some of the heritage traction working in and out of York.

First stop was Colton, hoping to get 3S26. Alas, late running meant I had missed the train by 5mins and the sun still hadn't got out

It was worth waiting though as the grey choppers did reappear

Then came the Northern Belle with 47790 on top... http://www.flickr.com/photos/60516955@N08/6269939740/in/photostream/

After much deliberation, caused by a shocking amount of sun it was decided to head for Micklefield. I chanced a shot that was a bit different from the usual....
47580 heads to York

4500 or so hp for 4 coaches; and two of those First class. Must be a rather exclusive clientele.
