Thanks for the kind comments you guys. Yes Hugh, the fact that the great brute of a locomotive disappears at speed behind the gatehouse and dominates the fixtures and fittings of the crossing does add to the drama. Glad you enjoyed it. OS Nock said plenty about the 'Coronations' - anything in particular!?
Both shots were v good, but the second shot is great as the sense of speed is really enhanced by the narrow field of view through the crossing and the sharp edge of the building!! Now what was it that OS Nock said about the Coronation class....???!!! So a definite TU :-)
@Heck9001 OS Nock - just something about there being nothing like the power of a Coronation in full flight and that we would never see their like again.
Thanks mate, most kind. I intended doing a similar 'pan' across the fields last weekend at Balne for Deltic 55022 but the grasses in the fields have shot up and the shot's not currently on. Check my film out of you wish; it's called: "Deltics 24/7: from dawn till dusk with 55022".
