G'Day, Again Martin,
You keep pulling these stunning shots out of your hat, and you have me looking for faults....I give up.
You brought back memories for me too, I remember sitting next to the main line, at Hest Bank, think that is near Carnforth, when I was a kid, with my little Kodak, waiting for the steam trains, I used to LOVE the smell of the smoke, and it used to leave a real metal taste in my mouth,and oily soot in my face, ahh memories..cough...cough...
Regards Mike

To mikebottomley: Mike'n'Gail
Yup, Hest Bank is on the edge of Morecambe Bay, near Carnforth. A fine old fabricated bridge there, even now. Box Brownie, those were the days ! Point and Press !! I used to live near a railway, and we would walk up to the bridge, just to stand in the smoke ! I had forgotten that 'til your comment above ... When did you move to OZ ? best wishes Martin
