    Great set of images Stan...

    Coda
    There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

      Hi Stan;

      They sure do work those old tanks hard...

      Methinks the mono conversions were the best option on a poor day!

      I'd swap Third Class travel in that coach for anything that First Great Western has to offer today
      I actively encourage constructive comment & critique of any image I post!
      Feel free to edit & re-post as you see fit - but please - tell me what you have done to 'improve' the shot!

          Cheers Guys

          the light wasn't too bad but I think mono is the way to go with the old trains, as Brian says it gives the period look

              Ah I can smell the real locomotives ... splendid ... like Castrol-R it's a smell that should be bottled.

                Nice images Stan the mono treatment works really well, many years since I have been to Didcot, must make an effort this year. (thanks MX5 for reminding me of something long forgotten Castrol- R ahh those were the days)
