Being on the train pretty much everyday there is always the chance of getting a nice shot or two
This was an early departure from Aylsham to pick up some VIP passengers at Wroxham. Mind you I did have lean right out of the guard van to get it Still one has to suffer for one's art Kenny |

I got a cracking souvenir of the day though, the heads of government were presented with a limited edition book about the Forth rail bridge with a certificate in it, I managed to get hold of a copy, the Traction Inspector on the other loco only managed a menu! |

I used to go on the SRPS Railtours back in the early to mid 90s they were the old maroon BR Mark 1 coaches of the open and compartment type, and bar the odd steam (Usually a Black 5) they were normally pulled by Class 37s, what a lovely sound they have.
