Video Disasters!
TODAY'S VIDEO DISASTER!! I hope you all find this funny - I didnt at the time!! I had always wanted to photograph main line steam in Newcastle, really with traditional LNER / ER power. I like this location at Bensham Cutting, where the ECML and Hexham (left) lines part company, and as I waited for the 46233 Duchess of Sutherland on the 'North Eastern' tour from Leicester, the sun began to shine - What could go wrong? Unfortunately, I was not counting on being photo-bombed by a VTEC Class 91, courtesy of 91102 heading the 1E11 1030 Edinburgh Waverley - Kings Cross. I guess there's always next time, and with the impending Hitachi 800s about to come on stream, I think the 91s may in a a few years be rarer than an LMS Duchess!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVpvaNwiNGQ
