A picture taken at York station earlier on in the year during The Flying Scotsman's brief York/Scarbrough run (before the breakdown. With the hint of steam coming of the train the picture could've been taken decades ago.

Favourite picture of mine, had to crop it closer to get rid of some nasty over exposure on the top of the picture but other than that and the change to B&W didn't touch anything.

I like this, ESPECIALLY in B&W. Really looks the period. ;) :D

Yeah, thanks for that. The colour was so so, it was a nice picture but it was far too busy, and looked really modern (which it obviously is!) What I'd suggest to people, until the end of August I believe, the scotsman is making twice daily runs from York to Scarborough, leaving York at 12.30 and 6.30pm. Went out on a run on it but forgot to take my camera for the journey - fantastic experience though,.
