Fantastic shot! Full of atmosphere, you can almost smell the steam.
I grew up with steam, my father was a special class signalman in Liverpool, he would often take me to work with him to his signalbox, Sandhills number 1 and Bankhall, I would get "Toots" from steam loco's shunting round.
Lots of good memories.

Very, very nice Matt, the lighting there is superb, just catching and highlighting the details of the machinery, and the steam swirling around outside is a very nice touch

Got to admit, this is a stunning photograph, just need to crop it a little.

Epic. Hey, if you haven't entered this in The-Railfan-Nation's photo contest for top shots of 2009, please do. I think this is a good contender.

No I can't say I had. But I think I might now
