Another super railway/people shot. I'm off to the Great Central Railway (Tornado running) today to see if I can live up to this standard.

You have just pipped me with a main line shot of a Black Five.

Yes, I liked this retro treatment in your WSR series. It sums up the rural railway atmosphere of half a century ago to perfection.

Lovely evocative shot Andrew. Not sure if I like this one (Holga look?) or the previous textured paper one, they are both fabulous. Good job on the garden table too!
