3rd of April 2003 sees LMS Princess Coronation Class 6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" haul the Northern Belle Pullman through Four Oaks station en-route to Derby where it can take on water before heading further north.
OOps, thanks for the correction. Had to download the JT Patriot as a requirement for this scenario and got my underwear completely in a twist as to which was which. God bless the Old Age Factor.
My original intention was the Acela but didn't find really nice ones, so... The NEC along its primary power has always been in the spotlight. PRR applied the keystone as its logo to the GG1 with pride.
For Germany, my candidate is ICE & Intermodal, both playing a vital forefront role in transportation.
While the timestamp varies by country, the word Intercity was always intended as a mark of quality and priority.
Merchant Navy Class 35011 hauls the stately British Pullman Service along the London to Portsmouth Line.
Reflecting the beautiful clear blue sky is the majestic Midland Pullman headed by Class 43 046 "Geoff Drury"
I’m going to allow an extra ~12-24hr of contest time to allow any potential latecomers to submit so I can choose from at least 3 contestants if you two don’t mind. If nothing comes of it I’ll still move forwards by judging the lot you’ve sent.
Thank you Craigie-C and triznya.andras for participating this week! Here is a decided top 3 shots I've seen that were provided from you both: In 3rd place is Craigie-C with a magnificent shot of what is very clearly an important steam based service!! Love the angle, lighting and sky. : In 2nd place is triznya.andras with this awesome shot of an ICE 2 service passing by a bustling German railway yard. The angle is high up and unique, often hard to make work but has been done well here. I also like the variety of important services, showing how passenger and freight both provide vital roles to making a railway run! In 1st Place is Craigie-C with this excellent shot at what I think is Bangor? The livery of this Class 43 set is stunning and screams importance to me with the lighting gorgeous too which really shows off the colour. Well done! Looking forward to next week headed by Craigie-C . Sorry for the quiet week you two, regardless I hope you still had fun.
Cheers Blazin for the win, much appreciated, also a big thanks to you triznya.andras for your contributions on what turned out to be a very quiet week. I have set up the new thread here with the theme "Hard Work" Good luck to you all.
