| 45305 in the snow | K&WVR Winter Steam Gala | |||
| There are days when getting out of bed seems not the smartest thing to do. Would this be one of them... | Winter, it certainly was. Snow, sub zero temperatures. Another opportunity not to get out of bed perhaps? Would it be worth the risk of frostbite... | |||

| York at Christmas | 6201 on Shap & Beattock | |||
| York and its ever popular Christmas St. Nicholas Fayre always seem to produce a good number of charter trains visiting the city and 2011 was no exception... | If I had a time machine I'd love to go back to a time before the M6 and A74(M) were built but even with these annoyances, these two classic sound recording locations are still worth a visit... | |||

| K&WVR Autumn Steam Gala | NYMR Autumn Steam Gala | |||
| Despite some mixed weather, a temporary loco failure and a missing visitor, I enjoyed it... | NYMR Galas can be good, sometimes very good but sometimes things don't work out as planned. What would this one be like... | |||

| 8F down the coast | 45305 on Shap | |||
| After not having a steam hauled train on this route for over 6 years it was nice to get another chance... | I was not best pleased at having to miss my favourite Black 5, 45305's first runs northbound over Shap this summer but I did get out for the third one. Would it be third time lucky... | |||

| SSE season roundup | A few more from the lineside | |||
| We've had a few mixed fortunes during this season's Scarborough Spa Expresses but, for the most part, everything has gone very well. As usual, there has been some excellent noise to record and even some parallel steam running... | While I have very much enjoyed getting some main line, on-train recordings again this summer, it's been good to get out on the lineside too... | |||
