This is my follow-up to the previous photograph, although I don't think it's quite as vivid. I chose a location closer to the station with a more side-on view of the locomotive as it was working bunker-first towards Harmans Cross (if I'd done this on the Friday of that week I would have got it smokebox-first and the Townsend Bridge location would have been viable), and this was about the only angle that permitted this and a view of the castle. What I really needed was clear sky; what I got was overcast, which has reduced the contrast between steam and sky.
