Swanage Railway provided the subject for today's picture. Can't go wrong with a bit of steam.

 

[NickD]

I like how close that is, I can hear it and smell it.

 

[Boots]

Very nice! Not sure I would want to trust that bridge!

I was rather hoping for a fuller description, my train knowledge is small but doesn’t stop me enjoying the experience and the character,very photogenic. Flying Scotsman is heading to Swanage in October, although the “Gin Train” in September is appealing

 

[Darkslinger]

Great shot Alan, I always like a good train shot!

 

[Nostromo]

Choo choo
Like you say, you can't go wrong with a steam train.

 

[DB5]

Good picture, did it whistle coming round the bend.

 

[nog]

Nice bit of steam, that whistle sign is very noticeable which I guess it should be

 

[Barney]

It looks like you were working the points and then stepped back to take the shot. Brilliant !

 

[SimonH]

Great shot Alan. Nicely composed.
