I love this image Mike. My Dad took a similar one a few years back but of a very old train, and I have been bugging him for a copy ever since. The hue of colours was amazing. This however is very 'clean' but it does not take away from my interest and fascination.

Thanks Gail.  The clean finish is due to the restoration work and detailed paint job that has been applied.  The low sheen paint displayed a wonderful range of tones in the diffuse skylight from above and the reflected sunlight from the side.

Cheers

Mike

Thank you Lynn for your kind words.  

All the best,

Mike
