June 2026 Picture of the Month

Taken on a wet morning (June 3 this year), 1904-built GWR locomotive 2808 – rostered instead of the scheduled 2024-built Betton Grange – hauls a train into Winchcombe Station on the wonderful Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. I was there to explore and photograph their collection of weighbridges and weighing machines. Thanks to the generous amount of time volunteer staff spent giving me access to everything I wanted, the day was a great success – enhanced by sufficient time to buy tickets and explore the line  Canon 5D MkIV, 24-105mm zoom lens at 105mm.
