Just back from our gig at the Barmouth Festival. Our route home just happened to take us past the "Hallowed Turf" and simply driving on was not an option! 
Even though operations were long finished for the day, it was still light and there were plenty of photo opportunities and some tasty reference material to gather - in fact, not having the usual distractions of activity around the line made a pleasant change
Here's a few examples - trust me, each of these (including Chattenden and the end of the tipper shot 'contre jour') have provided me with a wealth of weathering & detailing ideas;
It was nice that my spirit had a "lift" after this visit, even though there was nothing to see!

I look forward to a photo or two of the peeling paint weathering detail !
