Hello David.
My favourite is #4 featuring "Number 9" because of the steam and the light.

Saw the "Earl" and the "Scot" much closer to home.

Below is my shot of 5043 drawing much attention as it eased up to the end of the platform at Ilkeston station which (re-)opened earlier this year.

Could you have accidentally moved the viewfinder dioptre adjustment slider?

I am slightly surprised that the DA 16-85mm is not mentioned.

That is a pleasing composition Mike and well timed too.

I often purposely under expose steam loco shots to preserve the detail in the steam but then adjust the shadow/highlights in post-processing.

You have a choice of two steam trains into Chester on Saturday:

70013 'Oliver Cromwell' coming from the Wrexham direction...

60163 'Tornado' coming in from Crewe...

Forgot to add that when we got back we found that our son had switched off the fridge and freezer just before we left so arrived home to a bad smell, water all over the kitchen floor and rather a lot of spoiled food.

Maybe you could do plug into an unswitched socket - or even fit an unswitched cord outlet and wire it into that as then the fridge will never go off unless the mains system RCD trips or the supply to the house fails, as the latter is what I did.

What's wrong with a sticker above the plug saying "DO NOT SWITCH OFF"?

It was covered on another thread, a couple of months ago that the Pentax presence was disappearing from Jessops.

It is notable though that JG says he has not had the chance to examine what we al know to be a weak area - focussing/tracking.

You might need sunglasses but take off the rose tinted specs first.

When in Jessops in Nottingham last Sunday, I noticed that the Pentax display had disappeared.
Apologies Stan, you were right!
