A mostly trains month for me.

The KWVR line is a single line five miles long track with one passing point. This year's Steam Gala included a few "guest" engines plus an opportunity to double head and detach/attach. Here's a selection from the event.

Making the most of KWVR's Elf Explorer in steam at different times during the day. ... plus my homage to O Winston Link

A smorgasbord of cockpits at the Yorkshire Air Museum

Walked past this "lump" of stone several times previously, but this was the first time I read the plaque and the reason why it was an Air Museum :blush:

Different rolling stock plus different camera

Making the most of this week's sunny day plus managed to shoot three different bridges (within the minute).

First from a nice walk on a much better day.
