I like the picture but am not to sure about the processing. it all looks too sharp?.
 
I think so.

I wonder if reducing the levels of the sliders by half would be enough.
 
Thanks Mark, I was going for a gritty look. Too overdone?

Yes. It won't look gritty because it isn't, the sky is saying instantly it's a blue sky day that's been over-processed. It could be made gritty by cropping in close so it's just a shot of the crew in the steam, but your losing a lot of image doing that. Ideally a lower angle would have helped, but obviously you can't do that in post, as the top of the loco is getting lost in the trees on the ridge behind, so you're losing a nice iconic outline there.

Sorry to be negative.
