A movement like this is likely to be the engine and support crew moving between home-base (The NRM) and a preserved railway for an extended stay or to rendezvous with a rake of coaches to run as a day trip on the following day.

The D-Xenon 50-200 seems to come alive with good light and I found it more enjoyable to use than the 55-300.
Was never totally convinced by the 55-300 (original version, metal mount) and to some extent wished I had not been swayed by comments here to get it.
Perhaps it was subconsciously the extra weight that had a bearing on my opinions?

Their original loco in #1 looks eye-catching and your walking efforts were rewarded with the shot of "Big Jim' simmering on Haworth shed (the most we walked was the length of the platform at Oxenhope and to the museum at Ingrow).
#2 is an interesting one - many photographers seem to dislike seeing engines coupled smoke-box together. Cropped around the locos you might get a similar view in a shed yard but not on a train. Nicely atmospheric with the smoke though.

I like that statues in 2 & 7 for the compositions and use of depth-of-field.

Ignore the fact that they refer to a diesel locomotive and trailing load - the system doesn't identify steam locos.
Both links show real time progress of the trains on the day.

I may be at the Steam Gala at the Worth Valley on Saturday (though that runs from Friday through to Sunday).

It could be a whole new problem after the K30/50/70 aperture block issue.

Isn't it better to optimise for the long end of a zoom rather than the short end?
i.e. wide angle > greater depth of field.
