Preserved former British Railways Class 2 2-6-2T steam locomotive 41298 was photographed at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway’s Wootton station on 30 June 2022. The locomotive was built at British Railways’ Crewe Works in 1951 to a design by George Ivatt for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). It was withdrawn from service in 1967 at the end of steam working on the Southern Region and was sold to the Ivatt Locomotive Trust for preservation.
Welcome to my first foray into studio shooting. Can't say it went entirely well - I literally had no idea what to do with the model in 4 minutes so... hair flips; a whacky comfort zone if you will. They usually turn out something neat looking.
I liked the shadow at the time, but I guess it's kinda lame now. I could darken it and see what happens then. Or when I'm feeling more tedious, remove it all together.

Is her skin tone too red on anyone's monitor?

Standard Class 2 2-6-0 no 78018 approaches Quorn and Woodhouse with a freight from Loughborough to Rothley Brook and passes GWR 2-8-0 no 3850 working a freight in the opposite direction from Rothley Brook to Loughborough. My photo was taken on Sunday 26 January 2025 during the GCR Winter Steam Gala.
Seaboard Coastline #2024, now disguised as Clinchfield Railroad #3632, is seen in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, several years after its new paint job for the 75th Santa Train in 2017. Though the CRR scheme is slick, I prefer this one in the classic SCL colors.
Southern Railway 6913, one of 4 remaining Southern E8A's, is seen in the deadlines at SARM's facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. After the fading SR paint was over-coated with the scheme of New Jersey Transit, the rust is eating away at the shell revealing a few splotches of the original Southern green. Though you can't see it, the nose of the locomotive still faintly displays the Southern Herald, marking the units history and significance as it lingers in hopes of restoration.

Former L&N 1497, a U30C, sits in primer in the Oak Ridge deadlines awaiting new paint whilst classified in SARM's Vintage Locomotives series. The unit was delivered in Family Lines paint in September of 1972 and will hopefully one day wear the scheme again.
A great shot of a train Guard having opened the crossing gates waits for his train to pass headed by a Class 2 No78052 on the Dornoch Branch in The Royal Burgh of Dornoch Scotland where Madonna was Married. Today the railway travel involves train to to Inverness, then the Wick/Thurso train to Tain (10 minutes by taxi to Dornoch). Now there's progress for you?
