Red Dragon

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 10 August 2014 in Transportation and Portfolio.

The Red Dragon on the Severn Valley Railway, although after a little research it appears this actually is correctly named Erlestoke Manor, a Manor class locomotive built at Swindon in 1939, it ran in service on the Great Western Railway and today runs regularly on the Severn Valley Railway

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

A beautiful shot of this classic engine Doug. Takes me back to my train-spotting youth :)

A winning shot Doug even if the name of the engine is a bit iffy. I've never thought of myself as a train spotter but worryingly I recognise this bend and signal from diesels I've shot. I need to sort myself out!!

Like a travel in time. I guess this train is late, very very late : many years too late :-)
