Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 19th October 2019

What a fine scene!

Thanks Erhard.

très belle photo ! tout y est : la lumière , l 'eau sur le sol, la fumée, et le mécanicien en combinaison rouge ! et surtout cette merveille de machine !

Merci beaucoup Nautilus. Il faut dire que la combinaison rouge est une peu bizarre mais il est en train de changer en bleu!

You too Peter. Thanks

Hi Pete

I really like this, as with all your railway shots.

Great composition and reflections in the water.

I must admit I have not been to GCR for a while. The new houses have spoiled the trackside views, and unless you get 'privilaged access' (like you have), shall we say it is a 'bit limited'.

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

Thanks a lot Peter. It's a shame you don't get down to the GCR as often, it's still worth a visit even if you can't access the lineside. Cheers. Have a good one.
Pete

Very good .. the figure adds interest... it reminds me of paintings by my art teacher 'Peter Owen Jones' he did a lot of railway works.. still available. // HFF and have a good weekend too...
Cheers from David J'

Thanks very much David. HFF. Have a good one
Pete

Hi Pete,

A great picture here!!
I agree with David, the figüre adds interest! And yes it looks like a painting which painted by the famous railway painters !
HFF and have a nice weekend!

Best wishes

Thanks very much for your comment Füsun. I hope you have a good weekend.
Pete

You really are getting quite good at this. I agree with the others; it could be a painting(I think the smoke does that) and the driver is just in the right spot. I'm sure I've said this before but, I really like the way you avoid converging verticals - dead straight.
Nice to see one of the "less of a celebrity" locos too.

Cheers for now,
Dougie.
