Just for Dave, I've gone back and had a trawl through all the non arty action shots.
ATSF Dash 9 with modified exhaust
ATSF Dash 9 with standard exhaust
Patched SP Dash 9, composure is crap, historically priceless.
In more general terms, my favoring tight angle power shots does not give good angles for overall general shots but I have done a few or got away with pulling back enough on the big lens to get a reasonable shot. Now I look at the consist at max zoom and if it has anything interesting in, bail out of the power shot,change lenses and step back for general data shots.
CN SD60 I think, blurred due to wrong setting.
Ironically this wagon with the same settings wasn't
Ex BN SD60MAC I think, no notes here to check, in Executive colours.
NS Dash 9
This one made me think of my mum, thought it wasn't breast cancer, just cancer she passed away with, but it triggered emotions I'd not expected but were not unpleasant..
On a brighter note, my first reaction to seeing this was someones collection of ACE kits white metal castings.
I have been banging away on manifest trains with pictures of wagons for reference research.
