How many

.... guards do you need to get a train away?

My first blip was of the A4 Pacific Dominion of New Zealand at Alresford  on  the Watercress  Line.

They had another steam event today, so husband, Milo and I went down in the afternoon to see if we could get another great blip.

It was late in the afternoon, so the sun was going down behind the 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive Ex SR West Country Class 34007 WADEBRIDGE, so most of my shots have sun flares in them.

I spent alot of time low down trying to get some good shots of the wheels.  When the train blew out her steam low down, I got wet and I was covered in soot.  I was the only woman there taking photos and the men probably thought that that I was a little peculiar.

Just before the train finally departed I decided to swap camera only to find that the memory card was full and I missed the departure.

So the blip is of the many guards on the platform waiting for the train to depart
