A very dull and damp Sunday morning at Liverpool Lime Street with Ex LMS 4-6-2 Princess Elizabeth on the York Yuletide Express. Sorry they aren't exactly brilliant, my little compact doesn't handle low light situations particularly well.

Yes, there is a deliberate mistake-that last one was actually taken at Chester in April.

I donīt thing these pictures are dull, I would call them very athmospheric. The bad weather situation cleared up a bit with the sight of such a nice engine !

cheers Joe

The second one is something special  : The fireman shovels coal on the grate to rise steam, awaiting the  light signal turning from red to green. And when the station master blows the whistle for departure the driver opens the regulator and off they went !

I have no idea why you wish to apologize for what are truly excellent rainy day photographs.  I really like the ones showing the streaks of rain drops so well.
