In addition to locomotives there is a collection of 19th century carriages and old freight trucks. These were all shot on a K5 with DA*16050mm lens, handheld. ISO speds ranged from 400-1600.

I love these sorts of little details shots. I think the third one edges it for me.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

A lovely set, David. Just my sort of thing!
Best wishes,

#5 is a stunning shot. Verrrrrry nice.

#4 is also great but that half cropped letter on the left irritates me. I would have cropped that off despite losing some of the curves.

Lovely set, the last one is my favourite, with the third coming a close second.

Thanks for all your comments.

Here it is then, cloned rather than cropped, so that the curves are retained.
