David did a lot of unusual things because as a Brit he didn't have as much of the "how the DRGW did it in 60's" phraudofreight box that I and other yanks seem to have. So using the 463 to help the 497 was kinda neat, and the short tank train with the 463. And the weather certainly provided some variety. Unfortunately I was shooting a lot of Kodachrome 200, worlds' worst slide film, so a lot of stuff didn't make it past the scanner...terrible grain and terrible color.
