Last stop Brechin - a fully operational Andrew Barclay saddle tank

[Bachs]

This is a fully restored and operational Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank here shown approaching Brechin staion in the North East of Scotland for the last stop of the day.

Given a sepia treatment as I felt it suited the scene.

That has a timeless feel about it. Great stuff.

This is a conversion of the colour image already posted here. Personally, I prefer the colour images.

 

[King of Groove]

Looks good to me.

Nice shot, i think the sepia has the edge over the colour

 

[ohmsie]

i prefer this one compared with the colour version. looks more fitting with its time frame

 

[Bachs]

Thanks folks.
The beauty of digital is you can have as many different versions as you like!

 

[CaptainPenguin]

Like this treatment much more than the colour version

nice , but a shame you couldnt have caught her more 'side on' , the perspective stunts it too much

Nice shot Steve and great composition.

I'm not sure but I think the tank on that engine was the one I was the project manager on about 6 years ago when I worked at Merpro in Montrose, could you find out? If it is, it's made from 316 stainless steel and it wasn't cheap - i.e. over-budget.

Bob, I know its full number is 1863.
I'll see what I can find out, but their website is here:
