That's a great shot Cliff. I'm normally not one for the steam train shots, but this one is fantastic.

A very dramatic and nostalgic shot, well captured.

I used to travel to school in the old compartment carriages hauled by N2's !!!

Nice one

Superb shot Cliff, when viewed large it has a painterly feel to it. Beautifully captured.
