What was the WB setting?

A pleasing capture Neil.
You've made good use of the curve through the station and the ambient light under the station roof.
I was caught out after the August bank holiday when ex-LMS NO. 48151 substituted for 45699 Galatea which I captured at Ais Gill.

As it is being run by West Coast Railway Company, since 45690 "Leander" is on another job I would expect this one:

Worth checking on here for running times, though nothing published yet.

Times do seem to be in the railway's systems though:

Return trip seems relatively early:

I thought you were going to say that rascal "PentaxExpert" had returned.

I have had issues with a couple of Sandisk SD cards where the locking slider has fallen out.

When I have managed to replace the slider, it is too loose, so that when set to unlocked outside the camera, it moves off position or even into the locked position by the time it is inserted into the camera.

The rather opportunistic Thornbridge Brewery have a 7% fruit beer called "Love Among the Ruins" on tap at the moment. That is the name of the current exhibition at Park Hill flats.

They have also in the last couple of years marketed a beer called "I Love You - Will You Marry Me" which was the graffiti message I featured in the Sheffield based one lens challenge referred to up-thread.

Has anyone visited the exhibition?

I like the first, featuring the older driver for capturing his lined features and expression and the last, of the boy who could have stepped out of a Ken Loach film.

To me, the younger folk don't quite fit on the traction engines and the eccentric bearded man maybe needs a wider view to give him a context.

I have found spot metering mode useful in the past; I.e. using the smallest metering area, centred on the moon.

I was really trying to say (to the Sheffield crowd and others), if you happen to be near Park Hill flats with a free moment, you might find it interesting as I did to look in on this exhibition.

Best approached from the Duke Street side, the exhibition is in the converted garage block.
Admission is free and as well as the photographs, it was interesting to loiter near other visitors and listen to their tales of Park Hill and Hyde Park.
