Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: smokey on June 06, 2009, 10:24:25 Glad to see 3 car 158's are back.
Take it as Bristol-Portsmouth line, not my area. 'Tis good picture. Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: Lee on June 06, 2009, 12:49:40 I use that route quite often and I have to say that its one of my favourite stretches of line.
Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 06, 2009, 21:56:06 Yes, it's a brilliant picture, moonrakerz - thanks for posting it here! ;) :D ;D
In fact, I was so cheered up by it, after the Tornado fiasco, I've just set it as my wallpaper - hope you don't mind? :P Chris :) Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonrakerz on June 07, 2009, 09:36:00 Yes, it's a brilliant picture, moonrakerz - thanks for posting it here! ;) :D ;D In fact, I was so cheered up by it, after the Tornado fiasco, I've just set it as my wallpaper - hope you don't mind? :P Chris :) Snap ! Not at all. Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: Timmer on June 07, 2009, 13:13:33 I've also made it my wallpaper as its such a great picture. Wonder if you should submit it to a rail magazine?
Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: John R on June 07, 2009, 14:56:14 I would have thought FGW might like to use it in publicity, it's so good.
Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonrakerz on June 07, 2009, 16:43:14 In fact, I had to go back again.............

(http://i40.tinypic.com/9qkaqs.jpg) Many thanks for all your kind comments !!! Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonraker on June 10, 2009, 22:46:15 8) Lovelly photo's 8) I have sent the kettle one to my sister to cheer her up as she has shingles :-\ Her and her husband chase these things all over the country. I may even be driving the FGW 158, who knows ? It is a beautiful sight and wonderfully captured what a TALLENT........... Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonraker on June 10, 2009, 22:50:15 I wonder if the Royal British Legion would be interested, they would make excellent cards etc just a thought.... Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonrakerz on June 10, 2009, 22:58:56 I may even be driving the FGW 158, who knows ? According to my camera the photo was taken at 1351 on 4 June. It appears to be heading Salisbury way, which probably makes it the 1336 from Warminster going to Brighton ! I hate to say this - but I prefer the SWT one, their colour scheme is better ! Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 10, 2009, 23:06:58 I hate to say this - but I prefer the SWT one, their colour scheme is better ! Hmm. I'd tend to disagree, actually - I prefer FGW's rather more restrained blue livery! ;) :D ;D Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: devon_metro on June 10, 2009, 23:07:45 Is the similarity in usernames sheer coincidence? :D
Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonraker on June 10, 2009, 23:27:26 :) I was confused at first.......... I often thought as I passed this field I would love a photo ...... thought I had a blonde/senior moment and forgotten I had taken some ;D ;D Gret Minds Think Alike ..... ;) Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: Btline on June 11, 2009, 20:17:11 I think the SWT livery puts the FGW one to shame!
Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: moonrakerz on June 11, 2009, 20:26:57 I think the SWT livery puts the FGW one to shame! Yeah ! ;D Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: cereal_basher on June 11, 2009, 21:20:37 I think the SWT livery puts the FGW one to shame! I think the FGW livery looks very smart, a modern look. Don't really prefer FGW's or SWT's, they are both good.Title: Re: To brighten up a gloomy morning Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on June 12, 2009, 01:54:54 hummmm its very pretty but i am a little concerned that you are so obsessed with poppys i hope you didnt do any seed collecting :)
