A well composed, colourful and evocative image Roger. Viewing large recommended to get the excellent detail in the shadow areas, especially the cab as you noted.

It always pleases me that steam engines never seem to lose their appeal to people, including me!

I hope you get your internet sorted out soon - at least we're getting to see some great shots from your archives though!
