My first trip out with the brand new Zenith EM camera. I rode my bike to Bradford Junction in the mid-December weather to try it out taking just two shots!

P576, unidentified Bristol Temple Meads-Weymouth working, Bradford South Junction 
 The first picture taken with the Zenith camera! A Gloucester R. C. & W. Co. class 119 DMU takes the south junction at Bradford Junction with a Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth working. The Western region attempted to run their DMU fleet in sets and were numbered accordingly with the initial letter corresponding tho their home depot. This particular one was a Plymouth interloper, P476. To the right in the background is Bradford Junction signal box lit by the low winter sunshine.

31294, unidentified Bristol Temple Meads working, Bradford South junction 
 Please forgive me.....this was only the second picture taken with the new camera but at least it's a nice one of Bradford South junction's down home signal! It was taken using my brand new Helios 135mm telephoto lens, of which I was so proud; it's a shame that the composition is so poor! To the left, one of Bristol bath Road's allocation of class 31s, 31294 leading a working heading for its home from either Weymouth or Portsmouth Harbour.
