That looks good, Jez.
Trouble is, it's not that photogenic if you're in the train. I'd like to find
a vantage point, perhaps a bridge over the line, from which to capture the
train passing.
In 1963 I attended boarding school in Worcestershire while my parents were
abroad (in Aden, at that time); after flying into Heathrow, I remember
travelling from Paddington to Worcester by train with a steam locomotive
pulling. I also remember how filthy were the houses that backed onto the
tracks outside Paddington.
