July's collection of photographs.

The first group are of 47818 on the summer saturday 'drags' between Norwich and Great Yarmouth on 14th July. The photos were all taken around Reedham and Great Yarmouth, and surprisingly I managed to find a handful of locations that I had not previously used, it pays to keep an eye out for odd little fotpaths that are worth a quick wander down.

The following saturday had the rare visit of a pair of EWS 66s to the Sizewell branch with the 'Suffolk Latch' railtour. This was captured at a few locations at Saxmundham and along the branch, together with an Fangio style dash to Cattawade (after walking back the half mile from the last photo spot to the car).
