7821 "Ditcheat
Manor" emerges from the undergrowth as it enters
Consall station on the Churnet Valley Railway. This weekend marked
the 2006 steam gala on the CVR. Follow

Word on the net advised
that 1Z18 was due through Alsager en route for Manchester and
then to Derby. Not having a clue what 1Z18 was, and it being
a nice day, I went to Alsager station to see what would appear.
Running about 15 down the train rounded the corner and immediately
it became clear that there was a 37 in charge - wow! There is
quite a long straight stretch through the station and the growl
was prominent as the train thundered towards me. So what a sight
(and sound) it was and thanks to the CreweRail
Pagefor the information.

Bright sunshine
and a fast setting caught DRS's 37611 beautifully as it hit the
road crossing - worth a larger pic. 08/06/2006
I shoot in raw
format which limits the camera to 4 successive shots and, not
realising that there was another 37 on the rear, I only managed
to get this parting shot when the train was a good distance away
which meant I didn't get the number. So this is 376XX (37605?)
going some on its way towards Kidsgrove. 08/06/2006.
