This was one of the few occasions during the weekend where I got something resembling sunshine when taking a photograph.  I been sitting in the waiting room at Gotherington when I saw the potential for this photograph, and my timing was such that the next southbound train would be hauled by a south-facing locomotive (the train was moving when I took this).  The finished product was perhaps not quite what I'd envisaged, as just before the train arrived, another photographer decided to take a photograph outside the waiting room, and I had to ask them politely if they would move (which they did).  This meant that I only had a few seconds to set the shot up again, and the finished composition wasn't quite what I wanted, and I had to get it closer to what I wanted with Paint Sho Pro.

That saying, I think this could well be the shot of the weekend.  It was published in issue 162 of "The Cornishman", the magazine of the the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway trust (credited as "Richard Kyte")
