I like the AOV, perspective, composition and colours, it may be past it's best but you've given it some dignity in retirement

Wonder how old that is. Doesn't look long enough to have a bogie at each end.

Thanks folks.
Taken at the wonderfully atmospheric (to me anyway) Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway in South Wales).

I blended a monochrome and full colour image.

I have, Larry, and it's quite good. I also took a square-on shot showing all the shapes and textures.

I'm not sure about the history, chaps, but when my son William comes back tonight, I'll ask him; he may know.
Best wishes,

Andrew

That old goods van may yet appear back in use on the railway. There have been many instances of old railway and tram vehicles being restored for use on heritage lines after years languishing as hen houses and farm sheds etc.
Well recorded view.
