Nice shots Nick. #3 is my fav then #2. You've captured all the rust and defects really well. Cheers, Mick

I quite like the feel from #1 - the numbers caught my attention and held it. You give a good overview in #4.
Cheers

Nick, how did the rest of your shots turn out?

Nick
That first image is a cracker. The others are good, but #1 is a standout. Nice framing and interesting content

Thanks for the comments.
#1 is my fav. One of those (few) shots that came out just how I had it in my mind.
Oscar, I haven't gone through the rest of my shots yet.
Going to run them through DxO to see what it gives me - initial one or two seemed promising.

Nice one, Nick! I like the first one, then followed by the last.
Sorry we didn't get much of a chance to chat either! You guys should have walked faster

Nice detail here Nick - you have a great eye
Love the first one - the treatment you have given this just works! The other three are also really good, great colours, really give you an appreciation of how much work goes into restoring them. The 2nd and 4th are maybe a little oversharpened?

Interesting shots. I. too like the first. Whem I first saw your title, I thought of a Connex Hitachi set.

I love train photos, why is it that I never see a bad photo of a train!

Thanks guys.
I've run the rest through DxO. Now just gotta look through them.
I can now see distortion in my 18-70 at 18mm, didn't think it was that bad before I saw corrected shots.
DxO appears to be a great proggie.

They're technically really good but I feel they're missing something. A story? some kind of ... 'draw you in' factor. Not sure how you'd do it with the train, but I really like them, but they're not really grabbing me other than technically.
hope that helps
Rob
