Entries are numbered. I hope you enjoy them 1) This is my favorite sunset shot, that I know of. Or not? Anyway, the sky is certainly lovely. -) It has a twin that is simple but I like it more than any versions with the train (probably the trackside bush cuts): 2) The Desert Wind -) The last run of this Alco RS-11 duo, thanks to a diverging crossover - they survived the first bend but toppled over the second
3) +1 because you asked for it Side note: I wish for some more grass and bushes outside Summer on Settle-Carlisle. Was it intended? Did anyone ever upgrade it?
