The first of this year's Scarborough Flyer on the return leg back to Crewe hauled by 46233 Duchess of Sutherland, recently painted in BR Express Green.
As it was a damp, dull evening I borrowed Sarah's K-r as the noise from my K10D is much too noticeable at anything above ISO 400. It's the second time I've managed to get my hands on it and I'm impressed. A great little camera.
Many thanks to Julia for the GEA yesterday. Much appreciated.
V2 is the colour version

Mono is really thebestbway to show the steam and shine and rails!
Two really good examples of our railway heritage captured in a photograph, which are crammed packed full of detail and nostalgia. My humble vote is awarded to the monochromatic version, simply because it seems to add that something a little special to this already cracking steam powered image.

V1 for me a fine image well suited to the mono production

Great image, Alan. I'd normally go for the colour, but your mono is so good, that's the one for me.
