I particularly like "Waiting for the road".
Well done (again) and we aren't bored with them. Honest. K.

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

I'm not sure there isn't a trace of irony there somewhere, Kris. But thanks anyway. Paradoxically it's the non-engine shots which are the most interesting...
My son thinks I lack focus (so to speak) as I keep wandering off to take close-ups and non-railway related landscapes!

Lovely shots (as always) Andrew, and I can honestly say I'm nowhere near bored of your output.
I like 3 & 4 the best for the human element they bring.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Thanks Robbie, I worry people do get fed up with my stuff.
I'll do some gardens and flower shots later in the summer. And some Welsh landscapes and no one can get bored with Wales!

Andrew

But please, Duke in colour.
'Waiting For The Road'- must have been waiting for ages with that expression. I think I would have put my camera in my bag and run away.
Carry on Andrew, just keep off the main line!

I am not generally interested in trains but I do like 1 and 5, No.5 being my favorite and it didn't look dark on my screen but the re-make looks to bright ?!? I guess you can't please all the people.....
No1 is good but for me the hanger/curved building on the L/H is just too much of a white mass and keeps taking my eye from the train. I might have to steal it and dry darkening it a bit.
Good set though
