Cool! You were lucky that this engine passed right around the shooting interval timeframe!

Well captured with the colourful engine against the neutral background. I've never seen one of these in my street ! ...Wayne

We have a field a couple of miles away where these beasts (mostly the full-size breeds) gather every now and then. I never know when to expect them, but you can hear the whistle and smell the fires from a good distance away!

Good shot of an unusual subject, Chris.

Nice grab shot Chris! Are they really noisy? My father-in-law once saw one of these trash a car when the driver didn't believe that the engine didn't have any brakes and refused to move!!

Not dreadfully noisy, except that the driver blows his steam whistle pretty frequently. The full-sized ones are much noisier; and I should have needed an 11-22 to get one in the frame ;-).
