Thanks - I got soaked in the rain waiting to get the exact moment to take the shot, but it was worth it, and seems to be the most popular of all my pics to date.

Location
This capture was recorded at Horstead Keynes, Sussex on the Bluebell RailwayTime
This was taken at 4:00pm, the crew were awaiting the arrival of another service before they could head off to Sheffield Park with the last service of the .Lighting
Its is all natural lighting, it had been a glorious sunny day with patchy cloud, suddenly the sky darkened and a flash downpour ensued, catching everyone by surprise, the air was very humid , hot and sticky.Equipment
Nikon D3200, 18-70mm lensInspiration
I wanted to capture the essence of a scene long gone from the face of todays railways, something I vaguely remember as a child in the 1960's , to show what everyday life on Britain's Railways looked like from a bygone era.Editing
Only edited in Lightroom with added detail definitionIn my camera bag
Just the basics, standard lens, my trusty 18-70mm nothing more.Feedback
Look for the moment, plan your angle, wait as long as possible for the shot you want and then grab it.
