Excellent - I had to search to confirm Dolphin torch (sorry but new to this) as I did not understand the reference. Thumbs up! They are great images! Cheers! I'll post a few steam photos quickly, as I have to head off to work soon (ugh!): Oil fired J549 hauling a regular Victorian Goldfields Railwa...

Amazing shots again !! Are you going long exposure on tri pod for the low light shots ? Thanks Richie! The penultimate photo was taken on a tripod, and was perhaps a twenty second exposure. There is plenty of ambient light in most larger rail yards, so you don't need an overly long exposure. Having...

Well done! Great post and photographs. More steam if its possible! Will be great to see more, very interested to have explanation of the "unorthodox lighting techniques" - I'm thinking flares and bonfires.....as I like a bit of pyro... Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed the post. My lightin...

The opportunity of getting out has been rather scarce of late, due in no small part to lockdowns caused by the pestilence. The State of Victoria (where I live) was placed into Stage 3 lockdown about a week after I got back from my sojourn in South Aus back in March. Basically, the lockdowns meant th...

There was a rebuttal that Norwood isn't Badger. Not wanting to further fuel the fire, I will note that I have looked through that thread, and the syntax of both are identical. It also seems odd to me that once Badger's real identity was 'outed' here, Norwood appeared very quickly afterwards. I don't...

I have been called far worse by better people. If he wants to inhabit the gutter, he's welcome to it. I won't be joining him. Just another without the balls to stand up and be counted under his real name. He has my number but the phone hasn't rung. I'd hazard a guess that he thinks he's being cleve...

This makes it fairly easy to work out who they are very quickly, as it certainly was with old mate "Badger". They obviously don't have the smarts to know when to stop. So far as I'm aware Mr H hasn't tried to post on here for a while. He's a super-easy one to spot so maybe he's realised j...

BTW Amazing how quiet other parts of "Soshul Meeja" are at the moment, compared to the beginning of the year, it seemed that anybody (usually a name involving a lot of seemingly random numbers!) & everybody was having a pop at you lot! I have very strict rules for myself regarding 'so...

Thanks for clearing that up, Novie. I am sorry you've had to go through that though.

I reckon a few people out there think this is about some numberplates, which it isn't. It's about a good person thrown to the curb because they wouldn't side with the plans set for the 4/1/2020 in Coniston. Surely a true friend would have accepted and respected Novie's position, and not held it agai...
