That's a really cool steam engine, Pieter. Is it operational? You have many railroad gems in the Netherlands! Does Belgium also have many steam engines?
Thanks for sharing! And thanks for the compliment on my photo! ![]() Kind regards, Kelly |

Thanks, Dena! I didn't have to worry about a tripod, there was no room for one with the other photogs! Also the A7III's built in IBIS is very effective and shooting at 1/500 or faster helps as well. Where I find a tripod helpful is keeping the image framed the way I envision the photo. When I'm by myself and waiting for trains I'll sometimes set up a tripod get everything set -- focus point, metering etc and connect my shutter release. |

There's also a few museum lines in Belgium but I haven't taken the time yet to check them out, but it's on my "to do" list. |

This thread made me think of a steam engine on display in my hometown. It's in a place I don't really come by often so I was pretty disappointed to learn that they put it behind walls, it used to stand in the open (and nicer to photograph). I guess we just can't have nice things.
This engine was once running a short train line between Regensburg and nearby Donaustauf where a hall of fame - the Walhalla - is located. 1. ![]() 2. ![]() 3. ![]() A7ii + secret handshake |

![]() I think it was only this year after several years of exposure for the elements of nature and less active maintenance that engine got once again some love and new paint etc. I think there was even a threat it would be removed from its familiar place next to the railway station as the city didn't seem to have enough money to maintain it, luckily some volunteers stepped in and now there has been some talk to build a (glass) shelter that should preserve it with far less maintenance. |

^ Yeah, I guess that's true, the roof probably helps a lot with keeping it in a nice condition.

Great photos everyone! Love the Golden Hour light Matheieu! Nice night shot Pieter! You certainly have traveled the world!
![]() Very colorful Christmas train Lee. Looks like the event attracted a lot of fans. Cucoo, its interesting that they put plexiglass (whatever that is) around the locomotive. Better than chain link fencing though, which is what they might do here. Heikki, a shame that that engine is out in the open rusting away! Like the balloon smokestack! Kind regards, Kelly |
