	A busy scene at Derby on 07/08/07 as MML's 43049 departs working ECS from Etches Park to Nottingham, a Central 156 departs on a service to Crewe and a voyager arrives on a 5H32 Central Rivers-Derby ECS working. Notice the nearly completed shell of the Network Rail EMCC on the skyline.

Multiple Units
	At 0550 on 1st May 2007, Catching the first rays of the early morning sun that had just cleared the horizon, a Midland Mainline Meridian unit passes Wilmorton on departure from Derby running as 5B06 0539 Etches Park-Nottingham, disturbing two crows from their overnight roost.
	On 28/07/07 a Meridian class 222 DMU departs Nottingham as the 1207 to London St Pancras viewed from the little used multi-storey car park which is a great vantage point for photography.
	On 28/07/07 156404 & 153364 depart Nottingham as the 1156 Robin Hood line service to Mansfield Woodhouse.
	Modern Units cross at speed at Attenborough on 03/08/07 with 170630 working a Nottingham-Cardiff train and a Meridian 222 unit working ECS from Etches Park to Nottingham.

	156407 passes Pinxton signalbox on 11/10/01 whilst forming 2D11 1015 Nottingham-Worksop, the train was diverted via this route due to an engineering blockade on the Robin Hood line.

Pinxton signalbox has now been relocated to the Midland Railway Butterley. Note a lamp post and signal have been removed from above the train.
Steam
	After photographing a 67 hauled Northern Belle special, I waited here hoping for a freight, which I wasn't lucky enough to get but this turned up, not exactly my cup of tea but it'd be rude not to press the shutter release. 60009 Union of South Africa, 47804 & a support coach pass Breadsall north of Derby on 24/08/07 as 5Z09 0805 York NRM-Crewe HC.
Industrial
	The pipe works at Stanton is up for closure with the work transferring overseas, this was meant to be in April but the plant appears to be still in use, albeit at reduced capacity. On 24/05/07 Sentinel shunter "Katie" is seen with a ladel en-route for loading in the main shed.
	At Stanton pipe works on 24/05/07 Katie hauls a flat to the loading bay to collect a ladel whilst out of use Ken awaits the plant closure and probably the cutters torch.
	On 24/05/07 Sentinel "Katie" is dwarfed by the size of the main works building as she propels a flat loaded with a ladel beneath the loading bunker.
Arty / Creative
	Perfect timing?? Not quite, two images of a few seconds apart have been combined, 82146 leads the EWS managers train passed Sutton Bonington running as 5Z05 1355 Toton-Kings Cross on 29/05/07, a few seconds later a Thomson branded jet crosses the MML on its final approach to East Midlands Airport, this is the lowest I have ever seen a plane come in whilst stood at this location.
	On 02/07/07 D1842 is glimpsed through a doorway at the derelict copper works at Froghall, Staffordshire during an EMRPS photo charter on the Churnet valley railway.
	On 02/07/07 D1842 is glimpsed through a window at the derelict copper works at Froghall, Staffordshire during an EMRPS photo charter on the Churnet valley railway.
	A Midland Mainline HST passes over the River Erewash at speed at Attenborough nature reserve on 10/08/07.
	Central Trains at Snails pace? I've been wanting to do some different stuff other than standard 3/4 views for a while, and I think this falls into the 'different' category! Possibly the best way to view a modern unit though?? A snail makes its way off a fence post at Attenborough whilst a Central 156 approaches in the background.
	Derby RVEL 13/08/07, 56057/301.
	Thou shalt not enter. 31105 is spied through the crack in the workshop doors at RVEL on 19/08/07, and Yes, the loco is meant to be out of focus... 31105 is currently undergoing overhaul at RVEL to prolong it's useable life for Network Rail test trains.
	47804 and floral accompaniment, Trent loop 09/09/07. The train was stabled there overnight after late running on Saturday evening saw it unable to return to Derby due to engineering work at Spondon, the late running was partly caused by the failure of 47804 with low coolant.
	Whilst on the way home from a night shift on 02/10/07 I noticed these strange looking clouds over Attenborough and with the light still being low I headed to Barton Lane crossing with the idea of a slow shutter shot to show a blurred train against the interesting sky... Shutter speed was 1/125th @ F8 on 200ASA
	47854 is seen on the rear of a Leicester-Llandrindod charter at Kegworth on 21/04/07, although the original shot I took was a silhouette, there were unsightly power cables in the sky area so the image has been combined with a sunrise scene photographed on 30/10/07.
	66051 approaches Sawley viaduct on 02/11/07 with 6D76 0658 Toton-Bardon Hill,I was being harassed by a herd of cows here, with them stood right in front of me sniffing at my camera bag!.
	66115 approaches Lock Lane crossing at Sawley on 02/11/07 with an EWS coal working,for the 3rd morning in a row there was a great sunrise, but this was the only day I got out of work in time to record a train against the light, but the Crimson and orange tinges to the clouds had almost gone when the train arrived.
	Network Rail's Structure Gauging Train (SGT) uses this optical car to project high intensity light onto lineside structures to measure the distance between the car and the structure, this data is then compared to the data from previous trips the train has made along that line and any changes are investigated as for example a sudden change of gauge inside a tunnel could be a serious problem. Here the vehicle stands beneath the calibration frame prior to departing from Derby RTC.
	I've had the idea for this shot for months, maybe years but never got round to trying it out, until last week. This is approx 70 x 30 second exposures combined in a freeware program called 'startrails.exe'- the shot is genuine, the signal wasn't added afterwards. I'm disapointed with the blockiness of the sky, but you can't have everything..
	An East Midlands Trains 222 Meridian unit heads into the sunset at Attenborough with a Nottingham-St Pancras working on 12/02/08.
	170107 glints and reflects the setting sun as it passes Attenborough on 27/01/08 with a Nottingham-Cardiff Arriva Cross Country service.
	33053 stands near Sutton Cross on the Nene Valley Railway during a photo charter on 23/02/08.
	A shot showing the buffer beam of 33053 & a danish passenger coach at speed at the NVR on 23/02/08, when I say 'at speed' I actually mean about 15MPH...
	60013 approaches Lock Lane crossing at Sawley with 6E46 0437 Kingsbury-Lindsey empty tanks on 19/04/08. The shot was taken as a silhouette but the sky has been enhanced to look better than it was.
