This morning we heard the very distinct sound of a steam whistle blowing it's heart out. A quick rally of the family into the car to get to the tracks, just in time to see this steam train trundle into town. Does anyone know what model of train it is?  2.  3.  4.

Jul 26, 2009 15:42 | #7 Heh Frankly I was amazed I was able to get anything useful. It was a mad rush driving the family to the tracks, leaping out of the car and taking a few shots. I didn't get much of a chance to check the settings. Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.
