Andreas' Bedford RL Lorry
Bedford launched the popular S type lorries in the 1950s. They were called the ‘Big Bedfords’ and brought Bedford into the 7 ton range.
The Bedford S series was immortalised in it's RL form - a four-wheel drive, high ground clearance version used by the British Army.
It's one of those Bedford RLs that's still Andreas' pride and joy.

The GCR And A Kingmoor Black 5
After a 15 month gap, I'm back at Loughborough for a photo charter. The loco? A Black 5 - and not just any Black 5 - a Kingmoor Black Five.
In 1967 as a twelve year old I looked down in awe from Etterby Bridge at the lines of workstained locomotives lined up outside Kingmoor shed. Black 5s, 8Fs, Britannas and 9Fs dominated.
We spent a whole afternoon wandering around the shed gathering numbers. Kingmoor closed to steam some months later at the end of 1967. It left a memory with me that's remained ever since.

The snow was an added bonus!
