Steamy Scenes: Big Bang at Ferry Meadows
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010/11/big-bang-at-ferry-meadows.html
Monday, 8 November 2010. Big Bang at Ferry Meadows. Although the Nene Valley Railway has now closed to the public until the Santa Specials. Start running, the line has a special duty every year to fulfil on Guy Fawkes Night as it provides special trains to take visitors to the Ferry Meadows Fireworks Fiesta. Except that the train had welcoming, friendly staff of course …. A moody scene at Wansford after the last train had returned. The railway is located sufficiently distant from the park so that it enab...

Steamy Scenes: September 2010
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 September 2010. Sunday's motive power prepares for the day ahead. The end of the season is approaching down at the NVR, and for the first time this year it felt like it during my TTI turn on Sunday. There was a definite autumnal chill in the air and the trains were quite quiet. Despite this, it was a good day and quite varied. On the first train out I was tour guide to party of 50 silver riders who were on a coach tour of the area. That was my tour guide duty done, and I was now free. Recal...

Steamy Scenes: Playing Catch Up
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010/10/playing-catch-up.html
Friday, 15 October 2010. An experimental night shot of D1062 taken during War Weekend in September. I liked the idea enough to go and buy a shutter release cable; so much simpler than holding my breath! As I have a couple of days off work due to a recent wisdom tooth extraction that ended in a hot balloon taking up residence in my mouth, I’ve been using the time to catch up on things at home. I've even found time for some sleep - until the painkillers wear off, at least. On Saturday I’m back at a m...

Steamy Scenes: August 2010
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 August 2010. Viewers of Coronation Street. This vehicle has a starring role with two bridesmaids hand-pumping Haley to her nuptials as part of a very convoluted – but entertaining – set piece of the inevitable wedding-becomes-a-disaster scene that are de-rigeur of soap operas. This trolley recently featured in my own photoshoot Railway Modelling. 8221; will no longer get you a smack on the jaw. Now that’s progress. So does Haley make it to her wedding? Tune in on 30 August* and find out! On Su...

Steamy Scenes: Rainy Days & Diesels
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010/10/rainy-days-diesels.html
Tuesday, 5 October 2010. Rainy Days and Diesels. Where has the year gone? It barely seems a few weeks since I joined the NVR and began life as a working volunteer at the Diesel Gala in March – and now here I am, a seasoned veteran officiating at the autumn diesel gala, which is the final big weekend event in the railway’s calendar. In maroon livery topped the bill, with 50135 Ark Royal. Close behind. The Hoover was adorned in Loadhaul livery, which of course it never carried, so I wasn’t expect...We rece...

Steamy Scenes: Steam & Cream
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010/09/steam-cream.html
Monday, 13 September 2010. 44422 leaving Wansford in the 1950's. Operating top n’ tail shuttles between Wansford and Yarwell. Our flagship loco, City of Peterborough. Is out of service under repair so was not available for traffic, but was moved to the bay platform to facilitate cab visits. This positioning permitted some great evening shots as the sun gradually descended on Saturday. Finally the Bullied Pacific 92 Squadron was shunted into the café platform (known as the loco crew drive-thru! If it says...

Steamy Scenes: July 2010
http://expotales.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 July 2010. You Ask For a Shed, and Get a Couple of ED's! Sunday proved to be quite an interesting occasion at the NVR, when no less than three visiting locomotives turned up and presented us with the opportunity to hold a mini Diesel Gala. In truth, we were expecting a visiting GBRf class 66, which we got – what wasn’t anticipated was a pair of class 73’s attached to it! To even the score up a bit, the NVR relied on its secret weapon – THOMAS! Yes, Thomas was in steam as booked, hauling the Ya...
