Westcliffe CCE Yard at Christchurch Sept 2008

29th September 2008

These photos were all taken at the Christchurch Exhibition on 27th and 28th September 2008. The layout was positioned at the rear of the stage and the lighting was very poor, this made the new recently installed colour light signals show up very well. The yard lamps and loco lighting were also very effective, but it made photography difficult so to get decent depth of field in these photos a tripod was used and long shutter speeds of up to 2 seconds. Westcliffe will next be exhibited at Alton on February 7th and 8th 2009.
