Locomotive, Steam 78 by annied

Locomotive, Steam 78

Locomotive 78 was built by New South Wales Railways Works, Sydney in 1877. It was one of four locomotives built to replace the prototypical No. 1 class built during 1870-71 by Morts Dock at Balmain. No. 78 and its three sisters were built around frames, wheels and boiler plate supplied new by Robert Stephenson and following erection the locomotive entered service in December 1877, being allocated the road number 78, as part of the M(36) class.

Your lighting and DoF is wonderful. You have really done a great job photographing this train. Made it look like a work of art.
Superb processing as well.
A FAV!

@farmreporter thank you Wendy - the museum was quite bright in parts with a lot of reflective surfaces - it took a bit of moving into the right spot which at times was tricky and some faffing of the raw files :)
