    Nice shots Mark but I wonder if your colour editing is a little amiss ?

    The blue locos have an appearance of Civil Engineers Grey on my screen whilst the shot of 5043 has the has the loco verging to black whilst the coaches have a harsh edge to to the colour; I don't know if this is my screen or a possible error during either the editing or uploading processes.

    I envy you Mark, seeing that kind of variety in one location in a day in 2009.

    Cheers guys,i think i may have slightly put too much of a "Colour Correction" onto them,although they were bright when i took them,perhaps a slightly higher F.Stop would have done it?

    Thanks David,but i bet you don't envy us for losing £150 by not going on the Tennyson!? #-o

    Cheers,
    Mark

    The 57 is my favourite, something menacing about it.

    the shot of Tornado is great too, maybe they should stick the support coach at the back
