Great image John, lovely composition & perspective. Reminds me of those steam train paintings by Terence Cuneo with his little trademark mouse painted somewhere in the scene.
However I couldn't at first think what was missing from your steam train image/s (not a mouse!) that would place them quite definately in their particular era but finally it clicked....it's those old telegraph lines with the rows of porcelain insulators, I remember many telegraph poles had the wooden ball with spike on top too.

Very nice. Sometimes you can lose the smoke against grey skies, but this is well defined and stands out great.
Cheers.

That 8F gets around John. I saw it a while ago storming through Kirkby Stephen at a much faster rate of knots than was usual for a freight engine.
Yours is a nice moody picture and as has already been said, you've maintained good sky detail.

A powerful capture. I particularly like the composition in which you have taken account of the drift of the steam.
