Ok, how about a Minor in front of a Town Hall. Or suitable official civic building if no Town hall available. Should be challenging enough for parking or getting the shot, but plenty of scope for everyone.

We'll obviously have to take your word for it that it is the Town Hall of wherever, unless its very recognisable! No personal advantage here - Tenbury dosn't have one and Ludlow demolished theirs to make a new market square about 15 years ago (a radical council planning meeting that must have been...).

Surely the judge can't enter anyway, that would be like me entering my car in Concours when I was the Chief Concours Judge :wink:

Is that your local Town hall then behind the car ?

Well done Iain with the Level Crossing shot - as for the Global Warming - well the Fireman has that Loco running far too rich - black smoke is indeed much frowned on - he should get the dampers and/or Fire door open pronto!

I'll bow to your experience then on steam loco running! We'd overtook the train leaving Pickering Station as he was building up speed and then had a few moments to wait and get cameras ready at the crossing. think it was a slight upgrade and it was obviously working hard. It was the Roses Run and its the North Yorkshire Moors Railway btw.

Does just a piece of machinery, i.e. a bucket, actually count? :roll: :wink:

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
