With the 981 feet tall Bredon Hill dominating the background, Plasser & Theurer 08-4x4/4S-RT Switch & Crossing Tamper DR73907 heads south past Fiddington on 23 August 2012. Although the sun was trying to come out, the Colas Rail orange livery (in remarkably clean condition for a tamper) certainly brightens up the scene. In my opinion this is one of the better times of year for photography, with the fields of ripening grain amid the various shades of green far more attractive than the monotonous monotone green landscape of June and early July. |
