Holiday steam trains

[Buttkicker]

Hi Folks
had some fun at the Steam Train events in my region this Holiday period.. sadly the weather throughout everywhere I have been has been very cold and very cloudy

not a good recipe for good photo's - so no wall hangars this time round
a few of the better one's for my efforts

I really like the last one and the third one. Very good set IMO.

I think the pics really give a sense of the fun available at these events.

Pic 6 is my fav.

 

[EdBray]

Pic 6 for me too.

It's a pity they stuck that BR coach directly behind the A4 immediately makes it look wrong!

I loved looking at these ,and disagree ,a few of these would look great on the wall .

3 is great,with grimy background and passengers looking out of carriage doors and windows.

1 ,is a great looking site,

6 is my favourite,nice angle and composure.

The processing on the last really works. Strongest of the set. Is the first the Mallard?

Cheers guys
I like seeing these old Beasts still chugging up the railways
the last one is 'Sir Lamiel' not very clued up about them but they look great
thanks for the comments guys looking forward to snapping these in some snow or overall better weather

Number 6 is good as I like the view from beneath the steam plume - and the colour you've caught in the image. Saying that though, they are all good photos as the subject lends itself to nostalgia and that is always a good thing IMO.

I'm fairly sure that Mallard is in the Science Museum in London. The shot is of an identical loco. It's a design by Sir Nigel Gresley, an A4 for the London North Eastern Railway and the loco is named after him.

Some great compositions there.

The Mallard is in the National railway museum in York as far as I know?

First and last are my favourites the A4 at Goathland looks good but Sir Lamiel is a great shot

3&6 for me. Most excellent set of photo's. Steam trains are a superb subject.

As some of you are probably aware by now, I am a bit of an armchair train buff as I love looking at train books.
And needless to say, I'm very pleased to have checked out this thread. What a fantastic collection of steam train pictures. Plenty of variety too (not focused on one particular steam engine)!
Good work!
