After a few very lean years I had hoped 2024 might be a better one, photographically speaking. How wrong could I have been, in fact it's probably the worst year I have had since my railway interest was re-ignited around 2008. So, here we go again, reflecting on my favourite shots of the year and by now I had hoped for plenty to choose from, but unfortunately that really isn't the case this year.

My favourite shot of 2024 and not for the first time the Berks & Hants route has featured. What a great way to finish the day and be home by 15:30 with two sunny tug shots 'in the can'. Of the four DCR Class 60s this was the one that had always eluded me, until today. Passing Erlestoke on 12 February 2024 is 60029 'Ben Nevis' in charge of 6Z60 09:44 Willesden - Merehead.

NOTE: Taken with the aid of the camera on a pole.

16:9 aspect ratio crop.
