What a marvellous portfolio, cleverly conceived and beautifully photographed. How wonderful that you can combine your two occupations, acting and photography at the same time. And the promise of more to come, bring 'em on Bill.

I like the imaginative angles and viewpoints in this set. Best of luck for the future QC.

Some lovely portraits there Gary and some familiar faces from Whitby.

I prefer the image as you first presented it after processing rather than the original Barrie, the detail is more sculptured.

Glyn you're a star keeping this updated from time to time.

Great clarity in this quality shot Barrie.

Yes Neil, the last time we met was about three years ago at the East Lancashire Railway. I'm sure Barrie and perhaps Pete Weber would like to come as well. North Yorks Moors Railway or Keighley and Worth Valley Railway are with reach of all of us.

Thanks for the comment DSP and to everyone else who commented on my picture. The scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is indeed great. I should have said in my post that the dominant hill in the background is Penyghent, one of the three famous Yorkshire Peaks, the others being Whernside and Ingleborough.
Penyghent sounds Welsh so I checked it in Wikipedia. Seems it comes from the ancient Cumbrian language which was closely related to Welsh.- This part of the Yorkshire Dales is very close to both the Cumbrian and Lancashire borders.

It'll cover my coffee and bacon sarnie breaks.
Thanks for the comments folks.

This photo, which I showed in The Gallery a couple of weeks ago, has just been published in the glossy monthly railway magazine, Heritage Railway. It shows the A1 Class express steam loco Tornado working a heritage charter train bound for Carlisle over Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales with a Class 66 diesel loco coupled on the front. The appearance of the train with a diesel piloting Tornado upset the hundreds of lineside photographers.
Heritage Railway ran my picture with the story of why the diesel was there. Tornado's Train Protection and Warning System had developed a fault so it was decided to put the diesel, which had taken the train from Cambridge to Doncaster earlier in the day, on the front so its driver could observe signals and operate the brakes. Tornado still did must of the work of hauling the heavy train although when the train was accelerated after the viaduct speed restriction I got the impression the diesel was first to open up the throttle.
