Probably the last pic I wasn't quite satisfied with, but wanted to share it nonetheless. I wanted to give an overall shot of the everyday madness around here, keeping in mind that almost as many engines are behind me in the fenced off and camera surveiled area.

The first four in the row are class 140 freight engines, the three thereafter (one red and two blue/beige) are class 110 designated for passenger service, and the last is a class 115, a renumbered class 110, that received a different number for buerocratic reasons only. The main difference between the two ist the altered gear ratio, as the 140 has a lower top speed but can give you a higher traction force. The 110 also has an electric brake, something the 140 lacks, though some have been built from the other, so ex-110s with altered gearing for freight duty, which are known as 139.

You might also notice that blob of slightly darker sky just above the trees. Its caused by a dust particle thats either stuck in the lens assembly, or directly to the sensor, in any case, I can't get to it, and its quite menacing at times. If you take a look at this older pic [link] , you can see that very same blob at the same spot. I hate dust particles

Any suggestions/wishes/recommendations/comments concerning future photos? I think I've uploaded those that meet my rather high standards of quality, while the other 90% of my pics are either not that good or contain the same object, so are probably not really interesting for you. Image size OK, would you prefer smaller, would you like the original size for download? If you have some time to spare, share some of your wisdom with me
