An almost Harry-Potterish scene; Slighlty sad, disused and abandoned train stock in their sidings
Two 1960s diesel electric locomotives. This is a panorama made from three 10 megapixel images, so it will print to large sizes with lots of detail. To give you an idea of the level of detail and image quality, see the 100% crop below: /

The controls of a steam train taken whilst standing in the cab of the engine
I took a snapshot of this some time ago, I was just going to Water Ark waterfall when I heared the steam engine coming. It was out with the camera and shoot, I ended up with two photo’s, one a touch too far away, the other too close. This one is the one too far away, square cropped to bring the engine closer. MY STEAM AND RAIL SET /
Believe it or not this was taken on the same day as the last shot, this time on the way back from the waterfall. During the Summer season the steam trains run regularly, lots of photo opportunities.. must remember to make an effort and actually go out and try to get steam engine photo’s this year.

This is one of the small slate mine steam engines that now take the public along the track that runs alongside Llanberis Lake, Wales. I believe the engines originally didn’t have covered area for the driver… people are getting soft these days :-) MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
A very quiet Station on the privately owned North Yorkshire Moors Railway… a good spot to see steam locomotives through out the Summer months. This photo belongs to MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
Before the Steam Engine can leave the station, a staff / token has to be passed from the station master to the engine driver. This staff / token is authority to allow the train to proceed on to the single line ahead. In this case it was done while the train was in motion. This station is part of the North yorkshire Moors Railway. / / MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
6233 – Princess Alice- at speed hauling one of the 1937 Coronation Scot rakes of carriages. Now if only ‘Eurostar’ and ‘Pendolino’ had this sort of presence…..
One for Steam enthusiasts. On of those little heros of the private siding, the backbone of industry everywhere.
Once again, me going over the top with hdr, with subjects like this I think it really suits. This is Goathland Station in the North York Moors, and is a great tourist attraction. STEAM AND RAIL SET

Nailed it.. really chuffed. After last weeks disappointment when the steam train didn’t turn up because of a minor derailment, this week I had a success. / Timing has to be right, a bit of luck needed… I was able to try rapid shots a bit more accurately after getting the timing from last weeks diesel shot. I think I got the position just right… now if only I could manage it with a lower ISO :-) / / The Scarborough Spa Express is a steam train special run for around six weeks in the kids school holidays… Different steam engines are used during the six weeks, and they run between York and Scarborough.

I took this photo a few years ago on my little Canon A60 Powershot only 2. mega pixels, But thought it was not a bad shot & decided to post it. I think the pic looks better viewed in large mode.:-) London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Coronation Class 6233 Duchess of Sutherland is a preserved steam locomotive. 6233 was outshopped in July 1938 from Crewe Works and was part of the third batch of her class. These were unstreamlined, painted in LMS standard crimson lake livery and had a single chimney and no smoke deflectors and an estimated cost of £13,800 each. Service. 6233 was initially allocated to Camden, London. She acquired a double chimney in March 1941 and because of drifting smoke acquired smoke deflectors in September 1945 before being painted in postwar LMS black livery in September 1946. With the creation of British Railways on 1st January 1948 she was allocated to Crewe North depot. She was given her BR number 46233 in October 1948 and repainted in BR Brunswick green livery in 1952 or early 1953. In June 1958 she was allocated to Carlisle Upperby before eventually being withdrawn from Edge Hill depot in February 1964. Preservation. Following her withdrawal from service she was acquired by Butlins Heads-of-Ayr holiday camp, Scotland in October 1964. Later moved to Bressingham Steam Museum she was subsequently acquired by The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust and restored to working order at the Midland Railway Butterley. To allow her to run on the mainline in preservation she has been fitted with Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) and on-train monitoring recorder (OTMR) equipment, alongside the BR fitted Automatic Warning System (AWS). Royal Train. On 11 June 2002, the restored Duchess was the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train for 35 years, transporting Queen Elizabeth II on a tour to North Wales, from Holyhead to Llandudno Junction, as part of her Golden Jubilee. The trip also marked the 160th anniversary of the first Royal train in 1842. On 22nd March 2005 the Duchess again hauled the Royal Train, the second time for a steam locomotive in 40 years, transporting The Prince of Wales from Settle to Carlisle over the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The trip marked the 25th anniversary of the formation of the ‘Friends of the Settle and Carlisle’ pressure group. On the trip, the Prince spent a 15 minute spell behind the controls of 6233.

The British Rail Class 55 is a class of diesel locomotive built between 1961 and 1962 by English Electric. They were designed for the high-speed express passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh. They gained the name “Deltic” from the prototype locomotive, DP1 Deltic, which in turn was named for its Napier Deltic power units. 22 locomotives were built, and they dominated services on the line until their withdrawal at the end of 1981. Six locomotives were preserved and are still running today. Nikon D80 Sigma 10-20mm lens HDR
