I tend to agree with you John, thought of cloning but it was much too much.


Cheers,

Well nobody has spotted my deliberate mistake then I said the train in the first image was crossing the bridge over the "Manchester" Ship Canal, Its actually the "Weaver Navigation Canal Sorry I should have checked

Not so sure about the out-of-focus rendering in 'narrow boat #2', but probably still better than everything being sharp!
Just trying to get rid of the motorway view that was visible under the arch, thought it spoiled the shot a bit!. Thanks for your comments

Probably the signaller's car if it is judging by the proximity. Long time no see John, was it December 12th last year "The York Yuletide Express" IIRC

Is it that long John? Anyway I'm rearing to go now. I heard next week there will be two steamers on the Settle line on the same day. I'd be up for this if anyone had any info.

Hi John, as the other John so rightly says - it is a car and I've wondered ever since how it got up there. Again as your namesake says it's a long time no see.

Thanks Cliff for your comments, yes it was the 55-300 I had on the camera. By the way I did notice your little mistake and I was going to correct it but I thought it wasn't a nice thing to do in public.

Enjoyed myself and our chat.

Cheers,

Howard

Go to www.uksteam.info. This gives times and locations of steam specials.

THE CUMBRIAN MOUNTAIN EXPRESS
BR Class 8P 4-6-2 no 71000 Duke of Gloucester

Super set. It's great to see some long shots of trains. Very fifties in feel, a couple of these.
Best wishes,

Andrew
