Another photo from today's visit to the Shildon National Railway Museum... This one, a beautiful (and powerful - 3300HP!) 1955 prototype "Deltic" diesel-electric train.

If you ever visit western Canada, be sure to stop in Sparwood, where I live. Our "biggest" attraction isn't a pirogi (Alberta has one) or Mosquito (many places) but a 350 ton capacity dumper truck that was in the Guinness Book of Records for 25 years. We used it in the nearby surface mine. The power train was 3300 hp GE diesel electric. Wikipedia entry for the 33-19 Terex Titan: Terex Titan 33-19

Excellent image Mike methinks.

Machinery used to have such character. Very good angle on this shot mate, well taken.

Impressive for ISO 1250 on the Q7. How much PP did it take to clean it up?

Thanks, Em... It's not an easy place to take photos because of all the overhead lights, but as a snap-shot I think it turned out OK

Thank you, Pete

I was really taken aback by the size of these machines. It's a fabulous museum, but there isn't a huge amount of room between the exhibits; getting decent shots was a bit of a challenge. Next time, I'll take a DSLR and a wider angle lens!

It didn't take much cleaning up... +25 luminance and +25 colour noise reduction on the RAW file, with +50 sharpening / +0.7 radius / +80 masking on the re-sized TIFF. The lighting is pretty good in the museum, which helped.
