Lovely loco.

Thanks Kev, this was my favourite shot of the day, purely because of the driver peering out and also because the direction of the steam meant I didn't have to clone out a togger in the background. I did do a B/W version but preferred this better...

Great feeling of movement and power again Rye ... looks like an obliging engine driver too ... super exposure .. 

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Clicker, we just got a bit of sun shining at the right time. I think the driver is just keeping an eye out for people by the trackside, whilst it looks like I'm fairly close I was about 20ft away

Lovely shot. I think the colour looks really nice and the timing was spot on to get the driver in there.

Thanks Rick, yes and lucky with the light too, the sun made a brief appearance and nicely light up the side of the train.

Catching up Rye - love this one the steam going from dark to light and in the right direction, and the driver looking out. Nice one!
