Of course one of your favorite photographic subjects is the horse so it would stand to reason you might like the "Iron" variety as well. :-) @Anita: I agree there’s something very appealing about these old locomotives.

What is it that is so appealing about those old locomotives? Fascinating. I am glad to know that this is close by and you will bringing us still more photos.

I'll keep returning until I get something better. Thanks! @Ove: I did a few close up studies while I was there, but nothing I was very satisfied with.

Trying to get a front shot, a good shot on the engine man's cabin. A close-up along the driving wheels from the front, with a very narrow dof and focus on the first wheel. If it was possible to get in the cabin, I would try to get the engine man's view, with equally short dof, and only the front of the locomotive in focus. I like steam locomotives, I think I mentioned it already. :-) You're lucky having such a museum. I would as Tom writes move closer. Trying to get a front shot, a good shot on the engine man’s cabin.

No tripod was the big deal for me. Instead of the overall shots, I decided to go close in (go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tfdhtd101/3744020153/) on many of them. Good shot.
