I spent two days at Didcot Railway Centre over the last bank holiday.

There are a couple of pics here from the Saturday but Sunday was by far the best day for photography hence most of them are from Sunday.

There was a good variety of Loco's running, from the Firefly replica to an 8F Heavy freight engine to the GWR Diesel Railcar. Pretty much something for everybody really!!

Anyways on with the photo's.... Enjoy !! biggrin

Nice photos. I go past the Didcot Railway Centre occasionally when I get the train down to Reading and I've wondered whether DRC would make a decent day out. It looks like there is far more there than you can see from a passing train.

How did you manage to get all those shots without anybody in them? (except for the railcar).

Just patience really, it wasnt a particularly busy day anyways which I was quite suprised about, and a lot of these were taken later in the day when people were leaving and on the way home....
