This entry now means that 1/3 of the first six entries in this gallery are trains. I wonder what it is about trains and colour and I wonder whether that trend will continue in this gallery. There's certainly nothing subtle about a train arriving at a station, so why not just go with the idea and highlight the fact, right? It's not a bad pic. However, somehow the lights at the top are begging for me to see them in colour too. I also find the front of the train to be a bit too clinically central. I'm an engineer whose instinct is to do things like use a ruler to measure where to plant every plant, but years of my wife encouraging me to let go for the sake of more pleasing aesthetics has resulted in me leaning slightly more towards chaos (including pictures that are not hung centrally on our walls), or at least an acceptance that there might just be something that makes sense about considering application of the rule of thirds (which is nice and orderly enough for me to appreciate without too much anguish).
Your saving grace is that the track leads away from the centre. However, your colour choice still draws me to the front of the train in the centre. Now coloured tracks instead (or in addition?) might be just what this pic could do with. I'm not sure why, but yellow keeps coming into my head. Maybe it's the obvious connection with the headlights. I'd probably have to see it to figure out whether that would work for me. With yellow tracks to match the existing yellow headlights, you could still keep your 2 yellow headlights, plus make the 2 top ones yellow as well.
Cheers, John
