Narrow Gauge Lives!

- One Shot -

Second weekend for the Isle of Man Railway, and a busy one for me.  Just time for a quick stop for a single shot between family events (Dad’s taxi)

It was nice to see Beyer, Peacock 2-4-0T No.4 ‘Loch’ of 1874 out in action and quite a full train too.

The beauty of that location is that’s very close to the main town of Douglas.  Its literally right next to a main road, there is some safe to park the car away from the traffic, and due the gradient , the train is going fairly slow but with plenty of steam and smoke too.

Of course, due to its position, this is an afternoon shot, probably better later in the year when the sun is higher and further around.  I only just got way with the light this early in the year, as you notice the sun is shining right on the front of the train and the nearest arch of the bridge is still in shade.

Enjoy
