Great set of pix Grant. I don't recall seeing the trestle before. Very elegant looking structure.

Beautifully staged pictures, the landscape is good but the characters make it come to life.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Great photos Grant - sat on a train with sleet beating against the window, I can feel the relative heat already coming from those photos in the early summer in Aus
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Thank you everyone for the glowing compliments :oops:
I'm really running out of new angles for pictures, so many are just the same thing on a different day. Hoping to boil some more water today.

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Hi Grant,

The others have said it all. Don't worry about repetition, I'm sure everyone would be happy to see more shots from the same angles. I know I would for one!
