A couple of the engines running on the Severn Valley Railway the day I visited Bridgnorth. I can't say I am interested in actually travelling on steam trains as once you are on board then it's just a rather slow-moving train. But I do enjoy watching (and photographing of course) the engines themselves. They must have been a dirty exhausting nightmare to work on day after day but to see them now, crewed by volunteers who obviously love the experience is a treat. Nostalgia through rose-tinted spectacles but a thrill nonetheless.




Wonderful subjects, perspectives, colors, action and clarity!
