algy Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have not added captions as it is too time consuming plus most of the locomotives have names and/or numbers, the place where they were taken is not that important. The camera was a Minolta X-300 SLR with a Rokkor 50-135mm 1:3.5 Lens. (Information for PJ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Seems smoking and ice cream are the train spotters favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Fantastic photo's Algy and I rather like steam trains now after seeing those. What a shame they have all been replaced by boring modern day trains. How long ago did you take them and why don't you still use that camera as it takes great pics. Love the one with the old cigy advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the one with the old cigy advert Dizz, they were taken in the 1980's and I part exed the camera for my first digital camera. There are a lot more to come!, more tomorrow.

algy Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Fantastic!Wherabouts in Warrington were these photos taken? Rocky, I can never weigh you up! are you extracting the urine or are you really as naive as you portray yourself?, I posted them in the 'General Chat' section because the were not taken in Warrington they were taken at Bridgnorth, the East Lancs Railway and Carnforth Motive Power Depot.

RingoDave Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wonderful photos. I still say that you can't beat a good 35mm camera for classy pictures. I have used a few different digitals now and always end up back with my trusty old Nikon film SLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Dizzy.... the east lancs railway do all sorts of special evenings with swanky meals and steam trips.... take your old man and treat him to a 3 course meal on an old steam engine.... They do Thomas the Tank Engine days and WW2 revival weekends.... my little lad used to love the Thomas days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingoDave Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 East Lancs Railway is brilliant. There is a superb real ale bar/cafe at Bury and at the other end, Rawtenstall, you can go to he Temperance Bar - something for everyone!
