It takes 2 Steam Locos to haul a train up the hill out of Weymouth and for some reason Sir Lamiel wasn't available to help Oliver Cromwell so this weeks Weymouth Express was being diesel hauled Weymouth to Southampton.

So - in the 2 images below the leading diesel was the easier to pick up and get a consistant aiming mark on the front. Oliver Cromwell was at the back and travelling backwards so the target focus point was rather more hasty and was somewhere in the middle of the engine.

There's certainly lots of movement going on - probably too much - but I think that is because I am so close to a pretty big subject. Getting further away will cause fence problems again although at trackside a small pair of steps was great. At least the gloomy wet afternoon made getting a 1/50th easy.

Interested in your thoughts and observations.
