After today I am of the opinion that there is a thing as to much kit I took the 3 photo's within 5 minutes of each other in 3 locations one coming into the platform on as it was about to stop and the last outside the pub!! as it was leaving the station then a swift half before I came home there was one photographer there had 2 bodys on tripods with long lenses a bag open full of other lenses flashguns on the cameras (what the hell he thought they were going to illuminate from the opposite side of the canal to far away for fill flash) He ended up missing the shots totally by the time he had figured that he had the wrong lenses on the train had left he was still packing up when me and Becky came out of the pub to go home 15 minutes after the train had gone hearing him swearing about the wrong b****y lenses

I really like No. 3 too.
I have never seen a steam train in the flesh. I must resolve this matter.

Thanks for the inspiration to do so..
