Thank you Den and Ina. When I drove up to the parking lot and saw this locomotive puffing away the first thing I wanted to do was to smell it! So I quickly opened the car window and was immediately hit by that indescribable aroma of steam and burning coal and whatever else is involved. It was intoxicating for sure! I do not know why the engineer was blowing off so much steam (perhaps you do?) but the aroma, the sound, the visual impact were breathtaking! I am so glad I took the pic because when I look at the image now I re-experience those sensations.

Thank you all very much. Maureen, you have reminded me of that great play by Arnold Ridley and I must admit that it wasn't on my mind when I shot this pic. I'm checking to see whether Ridley's "Ghost Train" is on DVD...thanks so much for reminding me :)

This is a great picture, Anthony.
I saw it this morning and I just had to come back for a second look on a bigger screen (I was using the PocketPC before).
It just captures the sense of being there really well. Love it.

This is so cool, Anthony - I love trains, but the old steam engines even more! The steam is beautiful, there is nothing cartoonish here, it's a lovely image, Ina

Thi sort of shot strikes right at my heart Anthony. I spent many hours around steam loco sheds in the early sixties and believe me you've captured the atmosphere absolutely spot on with this image. I can almost hear the clack of valves as they are openend or close and my mouth salivates at the thought of the oil and steam mixture that surrounded a loco. GREAT SHOT!!!

There can't be many people who don't know that Arnold Ridley, mild-mannered Private Godfrey in Dad's Army, wrote The Ghost Train which is set in the basic, cheerless waiting room at Fal Vale on the South Cornwall Joint Railway.
He penned it in the 1920s; it appears rather dated in the 21st century. But it retains the charm of the days when a man had to show a sense of decency if other people weren't to think of him as a prize ass.
A tale of spooky happenings and a haunted waiting room isn't likely to have today's audiences hiding under their seats with fear,however be warned..............boo !

One can almost smell the steam.....I loved that era of steam trains,conjuring up long journeys of yesteryear...for me it's the only way to travel.
Well captured Anthony.
