Some nice atmospheric shots...particularly like David's first shot!
Despite this being only 1 mile from where I live, I haven't taken the camera down there!
But...I have been know to frequent the excellent trackside bar!

Kinda like that Dukes Cab 'abstract' shot for some reason, and the 'vintage' looking dark monos - great work guys
Pentax pour des images riches en détails!

Great atmospheric set of images, particularly like the image looking through the footbridge window, down onto the platform.

From looking at the first image, my nostrils, were full of the smell, that only the mixture of steam, smoke and hot oil can give, wonderful.

Take care.

Nicely timed shot David with the driver/fireman leaning out of the cab, this really adds interest to an already atmospheric scene.

Have you burned in the top of the boiler John? My shots of The Duke suffered from blown highlights on the shiny paintwork.

Not really my scene ... or so I thought until looking through this thread. Loved some of those shots, although the colour versions look good the B&W conversions take us right back to yesteryear. Really enjoyed looking through these.

I know its a bit late! but just as a reminder to anyone who fancies photographing steam locos, the Bury steam Gala is on again this weekend (25th/26th). John941, Johnwhit and myself will be over there on Sunday.

So, if you fancy steam and smoke up your nostrils a cup of tea and maybe a pint of real ale in the buffet, then feel free to join us.
Cliff.
