Enjoyable gallery, Roger, and the weather conditions were definitely varied. ;)

Excellent series of images Roger. I never actually knew there were steamers at Heathfield, very close to me, I must go and have a look.

You were making tracks following the trains! A delightful gallery!
Olivia 09-Oct-2008 18:19
Lots of great images of those trains. Seeing some people near it gives some sense of scale.
Jeannie 08-Oct-2008 11:51
Wonderful galleries, nick. it would be hard to chose a fave, as they are all so well done.
Bea. 08-Oct-2008 10:15
Great shots Roger. Looks like a whole lot of fun. there's something special about steam trains. They seem to breathe..

A wonderful gallery, Roger. These images are beauties, every one! Great colour and detail.
Steve Thuman 08-Oct-2008 03:49
Wonderful collection Roger. Do some of these trains still run out in the wild, or are they all more or less in museum type areas? We have some places you'd love over here. Lots of old train stuff around.
Jeanne Newman 08-Oct-2008 01:51
Beautiful, detailed gallery of images - very well done!

I especially like "4160 and 6695 arrive at Crowcombe Heathfield". Many great shots, great angles. Linda S

You certainly got about Roger, nice gallery
fotabug 08-Oct-2008 01:13
Wow, what a great gallery, Roger. It gets my vote. Are all of these steam engines in use by tourist RR's? They aren't still in service on regular RR's are they?
