Remarks & Notes 
In 1914 the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway had one of its joint owners, The Midland Railway build it some 2-8-0 goods engines, the success of the design lead to a second batch being delivered in 1925 making a total of 11 locomotives. Two have survived into preservation. Here is a shot of 53809 during a visit to the Bluebell line speeding up the 1:75 bank to Horsted Keynes. I choose 1/15th sec shutter speed to try togive a realistic blur to the train which was moving at about 20mph.

Pace and pan shots of trains from on the ground or in the air. If you're not in the locomotive cab or on-board the train, it's the next best thing to being there.
