All ready for a day's work Peter. If only you would have had the dream lighting of the golden hour too but I know these things never go like that. A great capture nevertheless my friend.

Best Wishes, Herb

Hi Herb,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
When I woke, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun had just risen over the horizon..
By the time I got here, not so long after, well you can see!!
So we try our best in the circumstances!

Best Wishes, and a good Week ahead
Peter

Soooo viel Kraft!

Thank you Lothar,
A nice collection of locomotives here, which I am glad you enjoyed. There were actually another two off to the right as well. Certainly a good start to the day!

Best Wishes, and a good Week ahead

Amazing view! =O

Can't help it, but makes me think of Thomas the Tank Engine.

Thank you Sami,

Unfortunately they do not have a little blue tank engine!
You must go to Nene Valley to find Thomas!!

Best Wishes, and a good Week ahead

Isn't that fantastic!! Full steam ahead Peter ;-))
Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa

Thank you so much for your visit here. I am so happy that you have enjoyed the spectacle of these four warming up for the day. There is always something magical about the smoke laden atmosphere of an engine shed! (And the gentle hiss of steam escaping from drain cocks...)

Best Wishes, and a good week ahead

A lovely shot indeed Peter of them all lined up for the start of a working day at the Gala ... most certainly saved in fav's with a YS by me also ..

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased you enjoyed this. The Jubilee and Black 5 were off to the right, but I have other photos of them (especially 'Bahamas') to come.
Best Wishes, and a good week ahead

They look as though they are all set to leave at the same time; which I hope is not the case!!! Excellent, Peter!

Thank you Andy,
Your thoughtful visit is really appreciated.
Shortly after this photo, the two in the middle were coupled together, and left for Oxenhope. The one on the left, 46521, is always surrounded by escaping steam.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44664808 , but didn't leave for a while. The big one on the right wasn't actually rostered for anything that day, it was kept ready 'just in case of need'.

Best Wishes
Peter

A great view, four locos lit up for the day's working. Thanks for showing Peter.

Hi Graham,

Thank you so much. There were another two over to the right, but that picture wasn't so good..
Glad you like it!

Best Wishes
Peter

Gran composición !!!

Thank you Karp,

I am happy that you enjoyed it.

Best Wishes
Peter

Tremendous image Peter, memories from the past beautifully recreated and steam to spare,
Thank you for getting up early to bring this shot !

Thank you Roger,

Glad you like it! A visit to the sheds early or late is always a worthwhile thing to do, even if only for the simple reason you can see all the locos together!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

What a wonderful collection!
