GWR 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' at Yarnton (Sandy Lane) level crossing with the Berks and Hants Aquae Sulis, Saturday 15th October 2011. As normal the persistent crossing siren intrudes, but this remains one of my favourite spots for a fast close encounter! Slightly underestimated the speed on passing (and was a little distracted as normal...) so didn't get the pan as fast as I should have done. Beautiful frosty morning though and the Earl was certainly giving it some beans. Great fun!
@MoiUnMouton Indeed I can, though hadn't at the time! And yes, hopefully see you near a steam train in future :-)
