Nice out today, so I got one out as well...

[Westcott]

Pictures of longish trains don't come out too well on the small screen, but here's an attempt anyway.

How would you do it?

Looks pretty good to me as well..... when I wanted to put up a wider/sharper pic myself, I cut the original into two halves (in Paint Shop software) saved them to my PC as two newly named images and posted the separate left & right images alongside each other ( :image1: :image2: ) sort of thing

Trouble is Dave, the resultant image might exceed the upload size - best to use the three shots as separate panes.

[Westcott]

Thanks for the kind words, chaps!

I took the first shot, above, from some distance away, using the zoom (150mm) to foreshorten the view.

Richie, what sharp eyes you have!
Nearly right - here's a wide angle (24mm) view from the sharp end -
Rule 8 applies very much to this consist.

My Sumpter Valley Mallet is with a certain retailer in South Wales having a decoder fitted.

The longest loop is approximatley 250ft, there is also a shorter loop of about 100ft. Glad you liked the video
