5043 looks good and I like the PP treatment as well

 

[evilswans]

cheers dude

 

[Catdaddy]

Superb! Love the one of The Bittern... (which they finished restoring at the Mid Hants Railway about four years ago...) Good PP work too - that's similar to what I was trying to achieve with mine!

Matt

 

[Catdaddy]

No worries! There are a couple of photos of it undergoing restoration in my gallery... Always wanted to see it up and running though

I like 5043 too - I think because of the length of track and train visible and countryside around it too.

 

[evilswans]

catdaddy, it'll be at the MHR gala this year so might be worth a trip down

and thank you shoe queen was a cold day getting that one lol

[evilswans]

cheers matt, i'm using a very basic set up at the moment lens wise, a 50mm 1.8 such a cracking little lens for the money, i paid about 70 quid for mine brand new of kerso of here and a 75-300 very simlier if not the same as this:
