Ta - I got a better, more unusual shot. But not as fitting for the theme :)
 
You've caught a perfect moment there... not for the fish, obviously.
 
Great capture Dave. I would have missed that completely (probably why I don't often shoot birds... :D )

Perfect for the theme. Two engines - presumably working together?! Is that unusual?
Nicely captured.

Thanks - yes two working together is very common. :)
 
Really nice rustic scene, the colours are great. My only criticism would be the wall and stile at the bottom of the image as I find them slightly distracting (but that's just a personal thing)
 
There’s something about old steam trains and the countryside that works well together.
very nice pictur.

Cheers Jim. I thought the wall and stile gave the photo abse and also added to the rural/rustic idea :)

Ta Keith :)
 
Lovely country scene Dave.
The strong burst of steam from both engines are well caught.
 
Nicely done!
I really like the leading lines of the trackside trees.

We're on holiday in Abersoch this week. Here's a pic from the Welsh Highland Railway this afternoon.

Here it is…

Fairlie Locomotive 'Merrdin Emerys' at Blaenau Ffestiniog this afternoon. A double ended steam loco with a single boiler through the middle mounted on an articulated double bogie. An odd looking bit of kit but perfect for the tight curves on railways like this.

Love it Dave, what a beauty that is.
 
Great photo of an interesting loco Dave and high precision of its time.
