The others I did are pretty average. I was surprised with the 2MP quality, thus the reason for posting this one. 20D,400D, A2, G7, Powershot A40, 550EX Flash, 70-200 2.8L, 28-105 USM, 28-135 IS USM, 50mm 1.4 USM, 18-55(kit) BGE2, Expodisc, Manfrotto 141RC tripod, Manfrotto 679B monopod, A stack of Sandisk CF cards, many Lowepro bags and an Extremely limited knowledge of taking good photographs.

It seems people are fighting to keep this old engine in service as the powers to be don't want to fund it anymore. I like the pic. I quite like the undercoat grey 3801. Not many of the other railfans do though AFAIK. My name is Rob.
