It's not very often that you see trains on this track, so I was pretty lucky to see this engine crossing the bridge the other day as I walked under it.
As soon as I heard the rumble I whipped out my phone and snapped 3 blurry images as it clattered past. This was the back end of the train as it went right to left.
Earlier that day I'd taken a photo from above a bridge overlooking the exact bridge seen here.
Industrial, grungy, autumnal. Lots to like here.

Big thanks to DT at @guitarguitaruk @guitarguitarbirmingham for hooking me up with this amazing 1958 Reissue on my birthday!
The customer service was exceptional as he came in on his day off to make sure I was happy as I mulled over 2 potentials
VIP treatment and one very happy customer!

Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s P90.
Not had this one long - it's a lovely guitar and I gelled great with it, however the opportunity for a custom shop guitar is looking like it might be a possibility, so last in, first out.
On ebay now if anyone's interested.

This has been a long time in the making.
A few years ago I was trying to build up to 10k steps per day and kept injuring myself trying to push too hard too soon.
Over a number of months this year I've built up slowly and can finally, comfortably walk 10k per day without my ankles, knees or hips giving me grief for weeks after a jaunt.
It might not be impressive to most, but this badge represents a milestone in my personal fitness.

Notice. People graffitiing the sign, didn't get the notice. Maybe they couldn't read.
This sign hangs on a fence next to a gate of a very overgrown plot which I believe at one time was a factory. It would make a fantastic plot for a huge house "in the woods" - no doubt with the passing of time, it'll eventually become an entire housing estate.
The sign is still cool though.

Within the last 12 months Banks's dropped production of my favourite of their products, the mild. A shame, but if I'm honest, I wasn't really pulling my weight in buying it!
