I thought I commented on these already... just inforcing my wife's view I am going senile!!!

Mark you have some real nice colourful images however the iron girders kill them for me.. I really love the old steam trains but having visited the exact spot you took these from twice in the past have decided that the Settle to Carlisle line gives far more pleasing images minus the girders and overhead wires
which to my mind totally spoils the 'olde World' feel of the steam trains
