Night time is the right time...

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

Night time is the right time...

Post by Jez Smith »

Hi everyone!

Here are a few photos taken at night by yours truly. I very much prefer night photography - much more effort = much more reward!!

Enjoy!

You are right Jez. The night time photos are excellent. We don't have any here, unless you go far into the Karoo
