I took a drive out to Taylor, TX this morning in search of some trains to snap and low and behold, here we go. This is a shot of a Union Pacific engine that I found and I'm glad it was a gloomy day because I think that added to the drama of this shot.
This was taken with a Nikon D90, 5 bracketed photos from -2, -1, 0, +1 and +2 exposure value, tonemapped with details enhancer in Photomatix and tweaked with Nik Color Efex in Photoshop.
Read more about this shot and purchase prints on my blog.
This is the last photo taken by my Pentax before it gave up the ghost, coughed and spluttered. It was a useful engine.
Up & Down crossing at Quorn.

We are standing in the platform on 9F 92214 on our way to Loughborough on our second trip of the day. Cliff let me drive back and clearly I must have been speeding because on the first trip we crossed outside the station........

Another engine plate at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Not originally a steam railway, it was used to transport sand from the local quarry. When closed, enthusiasts re-opened with engines bought or donated to the railway from all over the world.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railroad locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, it moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete as demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.
Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!
Some old things, something new, and something half black, half light blue. The Superbird's engine is to the right of the small block engine and is a fuel injected big block racing hemi that I nicknamed "The Beast".

Class 5 5407 storms through Clapham towards Eldroth with the bottom leg of a Cumbrian Mountain Express in October 1983. At this time she was owned by Paddy Smith and was permanently based at Carnforth. In those days we would spend the morning at Carnforth sheds watching the two engines being prepared, even helped out with cleaning them on the odd occasion, have breakfast in the canteen before the engine on the S&C leg would leave light engine for Hellifield ( on this day I think it was 46229 , the Duchess ).
A shot would be obtained before Wennington were the train would stop and usually perform a couple of run pasts for the passengers allowing us to get ahead for a second bite. Then a leisurely drive up to the S&C to get the second engine climbing the long drag. Happy days indeed in my dad Freds Marina.
34 years on and we are still able to pursue our hobby and 5407 is still pleasing the punters under the ownership of Ian Riley. Who'd have thought .

Heaton Mersey shed had closed in May 1968 when steam finished. Six weeks later the 1889 Cheshire Lines Commitee (ex-Great Central & Midland) shed still played host to lines of withdrawn engines waiting to be towed to the scrap yard.
All the locos were either Stanier 8Fs or Black 5s. In this view 4-6-0s 45282 & 44903 are on the left while 8F 48197 is outside the shed. There was no-one around and the entrance was open so no restriction on entry.
The motorway cuts across on the left of this view now on what was the CLC main line and an industrial estate has been built over the shed location.
