Turntable line up
by davidtrout
A vintage photo taken by me on a Kodak Box Brownie when I was a kid....and recently copied from the original print struck in an album, again by me, on a K30.
The original dates from the late 1950s and shows dock shunting engines used at Leith Docks parked around a turntable at St Margaret's engine sheds in Edinburgh. The engines date from 1882 through to 1900 and were still in use more than half a century later. Unfortunately my Box Brownie didn't have such a long working life.
The sepia treatment has been added in Photoshop. The original is still good old black and white.

Good idea Paul. I'll give it a try first with Heritage Railway.

Love this. What a clear shot from such an antiquated camera. Very impressive.

Terrific David! You obviously already had a good idea as a kid (and an interest/ obsession(?) with trains!). The sepia works well

An interest/obsession with cameras too, I might add!
Cheers...Donna 😊
