I love how these old preserved trains are always so shiny and polished on their outward journeys, nice shot
David Birchall replied:
Thanks Michaela. There is a school of thought among some enthusiasts that they don't look authentic if they are too clean, and they prefer a bit of a weathered look, because they rarely ran so clean in proper steam days.
