I wouldn't normally bother to take pictures of light engine moves such as this, but the unusual pairing of very similarly liveried locos makes it a bit out of the ordinary. D1015 Western Champion and 47760 pass Gossington with the 0Z86 10:03 Bristol Barton Hill to Preston positioning move, shadowing 44781 & 70013 with the 'Great Britain III' railtour on 8 April 2010. The Western would later be dropped off at Tyseley. One of the problems with light engine convoys is that they inevitably look a little odd in an open landscape, so I had deliberately moved nearer the roadbridge for this picture, where the photographic composition was better. |
