Well done to Ieuan Wood and Colin Platt, the winners of our July monthly competition. Their pics and those of Winwick runners up are shown below in today's post, 3rd September 2013.

On the Southall - Crewe leg 70013 was accompanied by Bullied 'BoB' class 4-6-2, No.34067 Tangmere. Both locos had diesel support; 70013 was 'pushed' by WCRC class 47, 47245, from Crewe.

ALTERNATIVE UK PICS


1st July A19  Colin Platt

Colin's shot shows ex LMS Stanier 'Princess Coronation' class 4-6-2, No.46233 Duchess of Sutherland heading the Liverpool - Carlisle 'Cumbrian Mountain Express'. The location was Eccleston Park, Prescot and the date, 27th July 2013.

Colin's shot was a clear winner with 8 points but eight other shots tied for second place with 3 points each, therefore none are shown.  They were A1, 8, 10, 12, 20, 21, 22 and 26. The spread of points in this section was unprecedented even though only seven persons bothered to vote. If this latter situation continues there will be no competitions next year as there are more important things I can do with my time.


I will post some remaining August dated pics in the next post. Following this voting for August can begin.
