Photographing the photographers The unusual sight of HST power car No. 43066 and class 50 No. 50008 top-and-tailing a 3-CEP Electric Multiple Unit during the Chinnor & Princess Risborough Railway's diesel gala drew in the photographers, especially near Horsenden Crossing. 
Very helpfully, this particular Chinnor-bound service train paused briefly just after the crossing, seemingly to allow the crew time to take some photos, as well those assembled nearby.
