Feeding time at Grosmont

Feeding time at Grosmont
The NYMR workshops and sheds are kept busy throughout the year here at Grosmont. Here we see one of the restored steam engines under the large coal hopper. The engines simply roll to a stop and then there is an almighty roar as coal is dropped down the chutes from above into the tender. The engine wants to be away soon and so is still in steam, ready for the off again.
Hopefully you will enjoy this old fashioned photographic look in my attempt to install as much feeling as I felt at this moment.

Best full screen.

Welcome to my gallery Wilfried.

You must have a realistic model railway if you have coal hoppers and real steam :) Very happy that you liked this one.

Best Wishes, Herbert

Ja Herbert, mit Dampf und so weiter auf 26 qm. Leider mußte ich sie aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abbauen. Jetzt sind Vögel mein neues Hobby, wie man ja sehen kann

Toz, I have always to try hard to match the atmospherics that you too take in your photos. Another joint spot here for us. Many thanks for the golden star.

Another unusual and superb shot Herb. I like the mono treatment very much. Somehow it gives the sense of sound and atmosphere of the steam train. Cheers, Rosa.

Hi Rosa, this was an atmospheric scene but how to present it here was a complex choice for me. It seems to have worked OK -so thanks a lot.

Keep safe. Herb

I think it works well Herb..........it has a lovely vintage look and a nice ambience. Lovely light too, especially where it catches the rails.

A striking composition to begin with, Herb, and the sepia accentuates that. Great shot.
