Super pic, John.

You lads in the North West are being spoilt at the moment with the number of steamers passing through.

Thanks guys, sadly that's probably the last time I'll see Lizzy this year, but I think we gave her a good sending off

Nice one John and well caught considering she must have been moving at high speed.

Great shot, John. I like these full length shots, I think they are more evocative of days gone by.

Thanks for the comments David and Howard, she was moving pretty fast, are they linited to 60mph? I had the location for the shot in mind for some time, the image I wanted was in my minds eye so to speak. The weather was a major bonus and I had the track to myself, no jossling for a decent shot, I think local knowledge paid off

I went to see her thunder through the station one last time this year at 10pm, awesome

Best regards,
