Sorry about the Frame.  Not every one's cup of tea but I just wanted to see what it looked like.

I've only caught this on camera a few times John ...it's a great looking engine and you have caught it's power with a sort of lean as it speeds around the bend ... One thing  though ... did you purposely  make the drive'#rs face appear covered in soot  or was that real?

I have never seen the Tornado so good to see this image.

Thanks Polly, thanks Bill.  I've often said that I'm not a train enthusiast per se, they just make good images.  Tornado is a bit of a favourite though.  It represent the enterprise of a small group of people who eventually made it happen.  We could do with more people like that, particularly now.

Nice to see a great loco in colour for a change, highlights the livery they carry that often gets overlooked in mono shots.

Yeah the colour looks really effective...and as you say Denis ... it makes a nice change from the usual mono which in some cases prevents us from appreciating some of the very distinctive livery that some of these vintage engines sport ...

Nicely caught John, it sometimes comes to visit on the ELR

[johntwo]

It started life in a beautiful Bluelivery which I think I prefered. Thanks for the additional comments.

Another very nice train picture John, the Tornado looks a great subject and I like the colour too.
