Yes if that could be done it would be brilliant, I was only going to use this for my Youtube but I've got a lot of pictures etc going on as well now and would like to share them all, so if the title could be changed to reflect that it would be helpful!

This past weekend saw me venturing into new territory with my camera as I headed for the West Midlands with a few friends for the day to cover some train operations around the city of Birmingham! Photos and videos of the trip below along with some of the more usual items from my home station! (note photos sized at 800px x 448px, if this is too large please inform me immediately) Hope they were of interest!

As you can probably tell by the silence here. the train action has been a bit low! However things have picked up again, with the usual engineering trains and the first venture to London with the new camera to film at a special depot open weekend! Other videos can be found on my channel including a few ride-alongs on the Tube!

Yesterday saw major disruption on my local line as a rail defect at Broxbourne prevented trains from Stansted Airport and Cambridge reaching London for a period of time and any trains that did make it through were running rather late. To make it more interesting, Network Rail test trains and freight trains were also attempting to run in the gaps! Action from yesterday (20 clips worth!) can be found on my channel, the better clips from the day are below

3rd Class 66 locomotive of the week makes it's appearance with 66206 providing power on 6M29. Before linking the video, a quick explanation of the 4-letter codes I use in my video. As you may have noticed, each consists of a number, letter and 2 further numbers. First number is the type of train (passenger, freight, special etc), letter implies where in Britain the train is going and the last 2 number differentiate between trains on the same routes to and from the same places at the same time! So as an example 6M29 is a freight train that is limited to a top-speed of 60mph and heading to the Midlands area. Those who wish to read into this further may do so here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_reporting_number Now onto the video, more have been uploaded on my channel!
