On Saturday, a trip to Forden near Welshpool was called for. I chose this spot on the grounds it was the only place anywhere near me that would have the sun in the right place. There was just one problem - I couldn't find the bridge to do the shot from! After frantic phone calls to the font of all knowledge aka NB, I was directed to the spot and ended up with this shot of 97301:

In the evening, I didn't think we could get a decent shot of 50044 returning. Ended up going against all I believe in and shooting from the wrong side for the sun - handily the sun disappeared with a minute to spare:

On the way back from Swanage today, the Berks and Hants line was visited for some 59age. Predictably 59206 came up in the afternoon so a slightly backlit shot was the best that could be done:-
