Hi Steve,

Thank you for the enthusiastic comment, and the link. I have been to this crossing before.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/45464010 (you guys were on the train!)

I think the verdict is clear.. “I heard the level crossing flashing then there was a big crash." The guy in the car just didn't look, nor take heed of the flashing wigwags. No sympathy!!!!
Good news is that the locomotive wasn't damaged!

Always good to see these beauties Peter.

Thank you Herb,

Your visit is most welcome, as ever. I was hoping that the clouds would have gone by the time the train arrived, but unfortunately not, so did what I could on a cold dull morning...

Best wishes
Peter

My dear Peter,

I like the tones of grey! I can see a little bright sky, far away ... The yellow flowers look nice in fore ground... A beautiful composition! Of course most important is the steam train!!
You have done a very beautiful picture with the nice locomotive and such plenty of smoke !
YS!

Love Füsun

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your appreciation! As you can see, the sun is trying to break through the clouds in the distance. Later it managed to do so,, but for the moment we have the big express locomotive heading north out of Bedford on a cold November morning, and some spectators.

Love Peter

Hi Peter,

What a lovely idea and a superb shot! You chose the perfect spot for a good perspective. A big star awarded from me!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you for your visit,the star, and very kind comment! As ever, it is much appreciated.
As you know, we do try hard to choose our locations for these steam trains to show them at their best, so I am so pleased you enjoyed the result

A fabulous shot in what looks to be difficult conditions Peter,
I like the feeling of speed against the moody sky and the colour and shine of the locomotive,
Big time favourite without doubt.

Hi Roger ,
Thank you very much!
You are right, it was early on a dull cloudy morning. The sun was just about breaking through the clouds on the opposite side, but would not do so fully for another hour.
I took the gamble that it would stay cloudy, stayed on the 'dark side', since the angle was better.
Glad you like the result!

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter"

Fantástica toma con esas maravillosas y viejas locomotoras.
