Vintage Steam
And a vintage image from the archive, way back in 2004 at a West Somerset Railway spring gala,
This is in the yard at Minehead station.

The 0-6-0 on the left was built in 1912 and is the tank engine on the right in 1928 both are I understand still in working order

Frans Schols, Maria Lovasz, Nouchetdu38, Erhard Bernstein and 34 other people have particularly liked this photo

An impressive looking pair of steam locomotives Roger. I like their black livery and the contrasting red paint on the buffers. Nice to get the escaping steam in shot as well.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you, Keith, these came from a little Olympus pocket camera, and I was surprised at the quality all these years on.

Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
I've dug out my old (ish) Olympus Stylus compact camera to carry in my jacket pocket on the odd occasion I can't be bothered to carry anything else. I'd forgotten how good it is.........a 28-300mm zoom lens, and f2.8 throughout the range if I need it.

That is something worth thinking about Keith, thank you.
