Shameless Plug pedned (Jamie Course) photo gallery

But some of you may be aware of my photo gallery, others may not... So well here's a shameless plug of my site, for those who dont know it, or haven't seen it in a long while!!!

Nah no shame at all Graham!

And thanks matey! Hope you enjoyed them! There some lovely English countryside in the landscape secton for this year too!
Even if I do say so myself!

Ok so I was out in the freezing cold, stood in an inch of snow or so, tonight, for some night shots of some 37s at Birmingham International. But I feel that's paid off for the images I got!

Oh and theres a couple of pics from Jan in there of 31563 as well.

Enjoy

no feedback? some constructive criticism once in a while would be nice...

Well, at least nobody's complaining!!

Looks good!

Well a bit of fun was to be had on Sunday...
First went to the Peak Rail, but the 31 had a problem with a leaking air pipe, so was substituted for the class 44

So it was decided, last minute, that we would be going to the East Lancs railway's diesel gala (although we only got their for the last couple of runs).
There are some photos here:

I've had a pretty good weekend so far.
Friday was spent at the Mid Norfolk Railway's diesel gala. Mainly for my dose of 31235, which sounded in great form. Some excellent thrash from here.

Saturday was spent at Llangollen's diesel day, again for a class 31 mainly, as D5580 (31162) was used on 3 trains plus the ex 19:00 beer-ex... Again some top thrash, especially up the 1 in 80 gradient between Llangollen goods loop and Berwyn, and the 1 in 135 through the single bore Berwyn tunnel!!!!!
Oh and I got my hands on 6 real ales, from the beer-ex to try!

Well here's why you came here, photos!

Oh, before I forget, also in the March folder are photos from the East Lancs railways diesel gala earlier in the month!

Very nice, even though I do not know these engines in detail, the photos are just beautiful.

its a shame your not into modern traction mate. the old ones bore me! but your photography is top notch!

By the way - you were not the only one taking photos, were you...

You see, 'modern traction' is boring to me. It all sounds crap, has no character and is just a bit boring. You tell me one thing that has been built in the last 20 years that can match a class 50 or class 37 or even a class 31 on both character and hellfire thrash, and ill give you a cookie....

You see there isn't anything. Infact, no locos have even been built in Britain since the class 60s!

BRITISH MEAT! BEHIND BRITISH TRACTION!

No. My dads site is here: http://dave-course.smugmug.com

You see i like the newer, imported items more "class" to them :)i think i'll always have an eye for the class 50's. but that's about it

You wouldn't know a hoover if you was pushin' it round the hallway!!

No photos of the real ales then, Jamie?

I bet the real ales didn't sit still long enough to be photographed

Still got 3 of the 6 left actually!!
They're being tried and tested... Photos are on my phone...

Real ale- something I really miss since moving from Sheffield to Tasmania. It's as rare as hen's teeth in rocking horse droppings here.
Even a picture of an empty pint glass of cask conditioned, hand pumped beer would be good...

I second that comment by Egg!! I used to enjoy a few proper ales when I was in England, and though I'm not as far away as Tasmania, there's no proper ale in Ireland. The Guinness is fine enough but very different from the Arkells, Donnington, Hook Norton, Wadworths, Theakstons . . . . . . . . .

... Greene King, Banks's, .. no, no, I can't go on...

Here's your ALE, guys...

Arse! Feck!!! Bloody Euro Beer!!!!

I'll have it then- after all, it was the first pilsner beer in the world, and it's bottom fermented.
Cheers, Derryck!
