I have near on 60 shots to process but have no time at the moment, I felt the need to upload something and found this one of an old tractor engine gathering dust on the hard drive.
Given the HDR treatment
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated
I stayed in Liskeard on Wednesday evening so decided to venture out to a spot close to where I grew up the following morning. This is the ruins of an old engine house on Bodmin Moor, close to Minions and the Cheesewring. Just when I thought it was in danger of being a wasted journey the sun came out and provided some nice light. This was taken just as the sun popped up above the horizon.
Thanks to Richie for reminding me of this spot with his atmospheric mono image of the same location a few days ago.
I appreciate any constructive comments to help me improve.
After 17 years and 9 months, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 020 finally runs on the mainline once again under her own power.
Undertaking a short initial test run for her first outing since April 2001, 020 was accompanied by sister locomotive, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division", which had been at Crewe ETD for repairs and was acting as the 'insurance' locomotive.
Running as 0Z92, the pair of GB engines left the DB Cargo depot - the Class 92s' original "home" - with the (GB) driver sounding 020's horn to mark the occasion as they rounded the curve towards the north end of Crewe station.
92020 and 92032 then had brief spell in the UDL at the station, before 032 took the pair back to the ETD.
To add to the uniqueness of the occasion both 92s had their pans up during the test run.

U.S. Navy F4U Corsair fighter plane at the Lone Star Flight Museum at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas
The Corsair was used by the Navy and the Marines in World War II and the Korean War. It was the first single-engined plane in the world to exceed 400 miles per hour.
The morning of May 13 found me wake and alert before dawn, so I got to shoot part of the morning fleet on the NS Lafayette District. I am familiar with the afternoon offerings on this busy freight artery, but I don't get out too often early in the day, so my insomnia had a silver lining to it.
Here we see TripleCrown™ 256 hauling its trailers up the steep but short grade at Philo, IL. 256 is blowing for the Illinois 130 crossing behind me; the grain elevators off in the distance are at Tolono – at the bottom of the hill – some five miles distant.
1905 Marshall Agricultural Engine Works No 42665 Sir Philip sent to Tazmania from new and returned in 2005 and restored by owner Mr. R Foreman and sons.
What beautiful feat of British Engineering. No. 31806 used to run down to Corfe Castle and Swanage during the British Railways days of the 1950s and is the quintessential Southern Railway branch line locomotive.
Hopefully 35018 will debut on the line this year,this prompted me to dig out shots of classmates which have appeared previously
35005 Canadian Pacific passes Kirkby Thore heading north on 29/5/99.I thought the blue livery really suited the engine.Note the ugly new signalbox by the works

Royal Air Force Lockheed-Martin F-35B Lightning II ZM147 on STOL finals to RAF Marham after the first Trans-Atlantic RAF deliveries
With an unrefueled range of only 900 nautical miles and a single engine as here:
twitter.com/prattandwhitney/status/659381643027681281
and some £GBP93m (USD$130m) each, It'll be interesting to see how they slot into operational use and how often the paying public get to see them up close and personal
However, whilst they may use stealth technology, when in STOL or VTOL mode - ear defenders are a must!

NASA beat me to it!
Okay, they did a 1.5 billion pixel image, I'll give it to them. And a mighty fine one too.

It inspired me (plagiarism attempt) to make a similar shot.
The bbmf avro lancaster flying past the Avro Vulcan which was in the static display at Waddington.The lancaster was designed in the 1940`s and was powered by 4 piston engines driving propellers, the vulcan designed in the mid 1950`s was a great leap with powerful jet engines and modern technology of the time .

The Denver and Rio Grande Western K-36 class engines are ten 3 -ft narrow gauge, Mikado type, 2-8-2 steam locomotives built for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (DRGW) by Baldwin Locomotive Works. They were shipped to the Rio Grande in 1925, and were first used along the Monarch Branch and Marshall Pass, but were later sent to the Third Division out of Alamosa. Of the original ten, four are owned by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) and five by the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TS). Number 485 fell into the turntable pit at Salida and was scrapped in Pueblo in 1955, with many parts being saved.
The locomotives are of outside-frame design, with the driving wheels placed between the two chassis frames which support the boiler, but with the cylinders, driving rods, counterweights and valve gear on the outside.
Hailed as Union Pacific's "Living Legend," the engine is widely known among railroad enthusiasts for its excursion runs, especially over Union Pacific's fabled crossing of Sherman Hill between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming.
The Northerns
The Northern class steam locomotives, with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4, were used by most large U.S. railroads in dual passenger and freight service. Union Pacific operated 45 Northerns, built in three classes, which were delivered between 1937 and 1944. Initially the speedy locomotives, capable of exceeding 100 miles per hour, were assigned to passenger trains, including the famous Overland Limited, Portland Rose and Pacific Limited. In their later years, as diesels were assigned to the passenger trains, the Northerns were reassigned to freight service. They operated over most of UP's system.
The second series of Northerns was more than 114 feet long and weighed nearly 910,000 pounds. Most of them were equipped with distinctive smoke deflectors, sometimes called "elephant ears," on the front of the boiler. These were designed to help lift the smoke above the engine so the engine crew's visibility wasn't impaired when the train was drifting at light throttle.
The last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific was Northern No. 844. It was saved in 1960 for excursion and public relations service, an assignment that continues to this day. Any current excursions scheduled are posted on the Schedule page. Two other Northerns are on public display: No. 814 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and No. 833 in Ogden, Utah. A third Northern, No. 838, is stored in Cheyenne and is used as a parts source for No. 844.
