Big Wheels

I hope you like trains because I’ve got a few to show you.
My grandfather from West Virginia was a train engineer so I have always had an interest in trains.
All three of my boys had train set ups and loved them.
The National Railway Museum in York was well worth a visit
Built in the 1870s, Station Hall was once home to York's main goods station and was a working railway building right up until the 1960s.
There are lots of Locomotives here.
Among them are the world's fastest steam engine Mallard, the exquisitely streamlined Duchess of Hamilton,
a replica of George Stephenson's pioneering Rocket and the only bullet train to be found outside of Japan.
There were lots of great shapes and colors in here too.

A superb composition. I spent childhood time with main line tracks at the end of a backyard in 50s 60s north London. Many hours watching/hearing trains.

Looks like a great place to explore. Love the low POV that captured all those red-spoked wheels so well.

Ces roues avec leur couleur rouge sont attractives. La composition est excellente et met en valeur la perspective.

I've always been drawn to trains (train songs, the sound of trains, the look of trains, especially the old steam ones), and this shot is a delight. V

The colors and framing are fantastic.

the "whitewalls" give this locomotive a snazzy look...that's a cool shot giving a kinetic feel..
