The Gallery ... Planes, Trains and Automobiles

I'm joining in with The Gallery and the theme this week is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"though I am mostly, for reasons that will become clear, picking trains *Sighs*

We are a family of train enthusiasts apparently, steam engines obviously but to be honest we're not fussy. Ever since The Man brought The Third Girl a Thomas the Tank Engine DVD with a FREE Brio Thomas The Tank Engine engine for her first birthday, trains ... big and small and inbetween .... have been a CONSTANT, and I do mean constant, presence in our lives .....

Inevitably, because there ARE only so many family sat-on-a-train, near-a-train, playing-with-a-train, stood-next-to-a-train, with-a-train-in-the-background pictures you can take ...... and believe me the above is a mere snippet, a morsel, an i-o-ta of the amount of pictures that I have ...... one develops pretensions and mine is that I take the BEST TRAIN PHOTOS EVER

And then I did....

Well, okay, it isn't the best train picture ever but it IS the best train picture I'm ever going to take. *Hangs up anorak* *curtsies*
