Douglas,

I like all of them, particularly the ones of the 'Scotsman. The colour does 
show 
off the livery well. But are those smoke deflectors in period?

Great shots all of them. Was there a steam day at Whitby? "All steamed up" 
is a 
great reminder of what we are missing - or rather aren't!

Like the crew at Grosmont leaning against the tank engine. Very typical of 
BR, 
very "period" ;-)

Don't really know about the plug-in is. There are some effects round the  
edges 
of some objects which look odd and can't all be dismissed as steam, ege the 
railings beyond the tank in the last photo, the far background in the one of 
the 
'Scotsman leaving York and so on.

But great photos - hope you had fun; after all that **IS** what this is all 
about.

All the best,

Peter

PS I will post some more locos later
