Well executed Sir Steve, wonderful conversion as well.

Yes, a superb monochrome conversion Steve. Nice location but I agree about the spurious recreation of titled trains and long scrapped locos. The 50H shed plate does not help either for 'The Cambrian Coast Express'.

Nice photo! I agree with you - I'd rather be along the sideline photographing her in all her splendor.

Love the exhaust steam against the background clouds

Good mono conversion Steve. Just a detailed comment on 'recreation of titlled trains of bygone years' The Cambrian was only named in recent years (from about 2006) using 76079, and then 44871 so this in reality this is a recreation of a 'modern titled train'!. The titled train Cambrian Coast Express ran from 1927 to around about 1991, though in latter years it lost all its glamour, arriving in Euston not Paddington. Standard 75xxx's were regular performers on the train in the 1960's.
