lovely shot. IMO i think a B/W conversion could make it more dramatic

Lovely shot of it working hard.

I have taken my kids down the water Flumes in the background many times.

My photo above has made it on to the pages of Heritage Railway magazine, as you can imagine, I am well chuffed!

Pity about the flumes in the background -its great when they chuck some coal on to produce some smoke. It really looks like the engine is working -may the force be with you
