On 7 May 2009 the 6Z48 13:05 Burton upon Trent to Dollands Moor Colas Rail steel empties ran with only three wagons behind 47749 Demelza, so despite the indifferent weather I set out for the location at Thrupp which I knew would ideally suit this 'model railway size' train. Although there was intermittent sun when I arrived, the freight, which was as usual running exactly to time, corresponded with an extremely dull period, with that bane of a photographer's life - a considerably brighter and therefore burnt out sky. Luckily I foresaw this happening and so Photoshop layers have once again saved the day.
