Work done, picked up my stuff from my flat, and now rather tired out, and awaiting the train home to dad for Christmas

This perspective gives an idea of the sheer size of these magnificent beasts https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54788935832/in/photostream/lightbox/

Here's what dad and I were off to see today: the gorgeous 1930s streamliner loco, Sir Nigel Gresley https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54789775256/in/photostream/lightbox/

Huge, powerful, fast & very beautiful, engineering and aesthetics combined.

Changing trains to go (partly) back the way I've just come (because ScotRail made a mess of the previously fine connection times)

One of the massive drive wheels of the Tangmere steam loco, almost like a piece of mid-century industrial sculpture https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54528046509/in/photostream/

Battle of Britain class steam loco Tangmere, hissing as she sits in Waverley after a cross-border run up from #York to #Edinburgh . Still sad dad wasn't able to come through for the day, he would have loved this. Wee bit of video just to catch that sound.

Enjoyment somewhat dampened as my dad was meant to come through to see this, but didn't feel up to it this morning. Lovely to see this rare beast, but would have been better with dad

Currently enjoying seeing this magnificent steel dragon in Waverly: Tangmere, a Battle of Britain class, massive "slab side" mainline steam loco, currently hissing as she cools down after steaming here from York.
