Last Steam Day at Dunaskin, nr Ayr. This is a view of our newly extended running line, looking towards the Southern Uplands. We're based at Dunaskin, only ten miles from Ayr town centre. Take the A713 towards Dalmellington, and Dunaskin can be found just a mile beyond Patna.

Just because I love it (and am thinking of getting a copy for my office wall), a London & North Eastern Railway poster, Scotland by "The Night Scotsman". By Robert Bartlett, 1932.

Glad I'm indoors today, writing. The weather in the North East this morning is a stark contrast to last weekend. Here 43320 is pictured at the rear of a diverted @LNER Aberdeen-KX service on the afternoon of Saturday 21 September heading through Haydon Bridge. ©️ Graeme Pickering

Another Engineers Train today, this time at my staple spotting location Ninn Lane: Colas 70813 on Rainham - Hoo Junction. Rather rare to see a 70 in these parts! #TMRGUK
