A Wide Gauge Steam Loco sat in the Car Park waiting for transportation back to Didcot......it's been waiting a long time, 2 years in fact...

...and we wonder why Breeching made his decisions

Very nice set there Kev. I think Platform 2A and the Loading Jib are my favourites - love the shadows in that one.

Whatever happened to Platform 9 3/4? Isn't that where it's all at?!

Nice set, Kev. I love photos of stations. The tone of the B&W is perfect.

there's one at Aviemore as well Allan, I was booked on it a couple of years ago and it looked as if i was the only person getting on...until 2 bus loads of pensioners turned it, i thought to myself " this is the train to heaven , i'm not getting on that , the grim reaper is probably the driver"

Great shots Kev, they're pretty well framed to be fair, alot of detail to fix the eyes on, on the last shot.
