Hallo Frank,
ein Altenheim :-) Schöner Blick über die Gleise auf so viele der Gesichter, bei uns kommt nächstes Wochenende ein altes zu Besuch, ist jedes Jahr einmal auf unserer Strecke unterwegs. Die beiden Dampfworkshops sind auch sehr ansprechend.
Aus dem schon eher herbstlichem Usingen einen Lieben Gruss, Ulf

...Oh yeah, I need steam
Feel the steam all around me
Ah you're turning up the heat
When I start to dream aloud
See you move your hands and feet
Won't you step into this cloud...
[Peter Gabriel]

Really amazing photo. Every grown up boy needs such toys.
Regards my dear friend.

Hi Frank.
A delightful photo - very colourful and sharp, and a subject that I always enjoy, trains. These old locomotives look brilliant and well cared for, and you captured them in fine pose. I like the title too. I wonder if you thought about cropping the loco off the right side and making a square photo of the other two. Not that it makes any difference, it looks great as it is. Thanks for the interesting note, too.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour, cher ami Frank,
Je suis sous le charme complet en contemplant ces vieilles machines à vapeur, l'enfance ressurgit d'un seul coup ! Eh oui ! les machines crachant leur vapeur, le sifflement, le bruit caractéristique du mouvement des grandes roues de la motrice, tout cela est bien reproduit à travers cette excellente photo.
Amitiés.
Philippe
Merci également pour les photos présentées en bonus !
P.S. : Les cloches de la collégiale sont situées dans la partie supérieure de l'édifice.

Hello Frank,
I see from this composition and previous ones that you like me are fascinated by steam locomotives. Did you also want to be a train driver when you were growing up? A very good point of view on this engine shed. The composition is well balanced and has some interesting graphical lines. Very good clarity.

Hello Frank,
When I look at dates of the formation of such objects this always they refer the decline of the nineteenth age. Many similar engine-houses came into being in the similar time also in Wielkopolska. I remember times, when trains were pulled by engines, when on turn-tables of the engine-house was the movement as downtown of the great city. Myself I attended school average by train pulled by the steam locomotive. The excellent shot, moving distant already remembrances, transferring almost to romantic times of Edison. The beautiful work, superb realization. Great cheers!
Best regards from really autumnal Poznan,

Hi Frank,
Great to see old roundhouse full of big steamers. Well presented half way out of the stalls. Good exposure showing details of dark surfaces well.

Wow, what a sight, I want to go there. It reminds me of the style of the German built shed in Wolsztyn, which have heard has now closed, does anyone know more details?

Hi Frank,
These engines really radiate power and strength! Good colours with its domination of red and black. I also like the WS:s, particularly altered image #1, with all that steam!
Greetings from Gothenburg

Frank,
This is a great shot of these fine old engines. You are very right about this being a dream job! My father was a railroad man and we have spent a lot of time looking at trains and talking about the old steam engines. I would love to have the opportunity to be in the engine when one is pulling a train. I will have to put this on my list to visit on our next trip to Germany.
Your composition is great here showing this lineup of engines. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
You just cant go wrong when you take photos of trains!
TFS,
Asa

A wonderful scene, Frank, full of retro interest. I might have preferred a tighter crop to concentrate the interest, but this interesting scene is sharply and well presented. Regards kevin

Hallo Frank,
mir scheint, dass ich ähnliche Bilder bei Dir schon gesehen habe. Und es scheint mir auch, dass wir beide hohen Respekt für die echten technischen Leistungen haben. Ich kann nur eines nicht entscheiden: obwohl oder weil wir selbst keine Mechaniker sind? Allerdings zeigen sich die alten Damen ganz munter hier und in der WS.
Viele Grüße
László
