Steam trains in the UK and Republic of Ireland

This photo caught my eye the first time I saw it. Lovely lighting on it, the steam looks great. Love the colour also. Can't really find anything to fault. Worthy winner!

This image caught my eye from the start. I liked the sharp focus on the locomotive. I guessed it must have been taken on a telefoto and then saw your image details. Definitely a worthy top 10, very different. Nice shot

Great shot. I've seen a few shots of these two from my friends. Wish I had got to Didcot to see them. Great lighting and very lucky with the weather.

Wow,. very dramatic lighting! Loved the glint on the locomotive, I know a lot of people who would love this. I've not got one quite as dramatic and is on my to do list. The top few images in this competition were very close. Great shot and thanks for sharing

Loved this photo in the snow. Great lighting showing the A4 Bittern up nicely. The steam on the blue sky also contrasts nicely. Worthy second place and great shot.
