I think that's a great image, and I completely follow why you've done what you've done. But in my view there is nothing different in principle from letting AI do its stuff - both a outright manipulations of the source image. The important...

Even before Photoshop !. I have a book by Les Nixon in which he describes adding exhaust to a shot of 4498 which had none using a second negative of a completely different loco. The darkroom process was never just one of always giving the same...

I think all of these are worthwhile, but they're marginal. I see the same in a different context. We have visitors, who contribute by donating. Those who steward are rightly pleased with those donations, but the amounts are a drop in the ocean...

I think that, relatively speaking, running on the six miles to Whitby is a cheap operation. There may be some additional costs but there are no infrastructure maintenance coasts to consider. I don't think even the additional costs are that...

35B liked Sawdust's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
One of the problems with running to Whitby is that neither the number or timing of available paths is in the NYMR's control, so everything has to be fitted around them. That is not intended to be either pro or anti Whitby, just a statement of the...

We have different views on this subject. in my opinion the vast majority of people will want to go to either Whitby or Goathland and that is what needs to be catered for. Trying to entice people to go to Levisham, Newtondale or Grosmont will...

Indeed it is a re-run of that debate. But my point is not to reopen Whitby good/bad, but to highlight that for 17 miles of infrastructure with associated fixed costs, driving the maximum cash inflow is key. And with very limited capacity to...

35B liked Miff's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I agree with @35B - leave it to the railway and/or their planning consultants to refute objections, if necessary, in a professional manner. They will be watching, as anyone can, the incoming comments. Stating the reasons why the railway is a...

Which is why comments should focus on supporting or opposing the application, rather than debating the rights or wrongs of what someone on the other side has said. Evidence for a proposition is much more effective than argument or...

Every objection gets taken by the park , sent to the railway and a reply to the park is needed for any concern raised . You are not here as a spokesperson for the railway , your objective like mine when I put my name on the list of supporters...

It could be, but the results of that strategy aren’t exactly looking great - and run four square into the fundamental constraints of the infrastructure. While I’d suggest that some posters are a tad intransigent, I also see the same in reverse
