Hi all
 

Hi all am new to this side of the railway bug, have been making a model railway for about 5 years now and wish to see & photograph real steam engines but do not know how to find when & where they will be to do this, I am thinking of visiting the ribble valley Viaduct to photograph some trains passing over but can not seam to find out a time that they pass. could anyone give me any advice on this,I have found out that the best day is wednesdays
Many thank Steve

Welcome to the forum Steve, a good site to find when steam is running weather it's a trip or a loco being moved is UK Steam Info and if you see one on there you can use one called Real Time Trains which will give times at most stations loops and junctions, and once the journey has started it will give its progress at all the points listed, eg 3E for 3 minutes early, 3L for 3 minutes late or OT for on time. Sorry I cant give you a link to them as I don't know how to but just Google them and see for yourself they are very user friendly.
