    The link is working for me, have you run a malware check recently? Try a reboot.

    Deviant art is the site I upload my images to, didn't realise that it was classed as a dodgy site. Some reason, the image inserter on here wont accept the image address.. Try it the other way for you :)

    Hope that sorts it for you

    Haha yes!
    The only other option for a watermark would be one that covers the whole image which D.A add on request and I think it ruins the image, I try and keep the watermark small to make sure that it doesn't ruin the image.

    Glad that worked Osprey :)

    Lovely shot that......always been curious about that location.......did you get it by entering the small industrial estate on the bend coming down from the cemetery? My dearly missed chum is buried there.....I think the tunnel passes under it, by my reckoning......so he'll still manage his train spotting!

    Pacifics around Greater Manchester 3-4 August 2012

    For most of the year, steam buffs have to make their way to where the train is running. In the summer, the RTC sends its steamers looping round the North West conurbations to hoover up its passengers.

    On Friday 3 August, Stanier Pacific No 46233 Duchess of Sutherland made a great arc round Manchester, calling finally at Rochdale before heading over the Calder Valley route to Scarborough. The sun was shining beautifully from just the right angle when the train was due, but it arrived ten minutes late into full dull.

    On Saturday 4 August, newly restored Gresley A4 Pacific No 60009 Union of South Africa stormed up the hill into Bolton for its last Greater Manchester call before journeying into the Cumbrian Mountains. Nearly twelve hours later, it was back at Bolton with a weak low sun and a rainbow ahead of it. Did it find the crock of gold which will ensure a secure future for mainline steam?

    Better enjoy it whilst we've got it - was the diesel substitution on Sunday's North Wales coast express a portent of things to come?

    Thanks Ralph, not quite in focus though for some reason.
    Sorry to hear about your friend and you're right about the industrial estate.

    My wife happened to be in Scarborough last Friday (3rd) & grabbed these shots. Doesn't Falsgrave look bare without the signal gantry?

    One photo from the trip taken at Crewe on the return can be found at Zenfolio | Paul Simpson | The Scarborough Flyer.
    An enjoyable trip but a long day 7am start 10.45pm return( and I was staying next to the Station at Crewe).It was mainly only enthusiasts who joined at Crewe.

    Just had an E-mail from RTC offering £25 per person discount on the 24th August Flyer. Booked 2 tickets which for my boarding place amount to half price approx.
    Quite concerning though this amount of reduction can't be sustainable.
