I have an Epson Perfection V600 scanner and have scanned my collection of about 2500 colour slides with it.
The results are very good. Scan them as TIFF files though, not JPEG. They will be bigger files but you will have a bit more dynamic range

The '150 Anniversary Troops By Train' special ran from Liverpool to York on Wednesday, March 11th 1981.
The locomotive on this tour was 850 'Lord Nelson'.
4472 'Flying Scotsman' was used on a Liverpool - Manchester and return special on Wednesday 12th March 1980.
Sigma do an 18-300mm. I used one when I had a Canon EOS 450D. It saved changing lenses and the quality was very good.
It was compatible with Canon's EF-S mounts but not EF.

I don't know about the 21-25 Preston-Liverpool on August 3rd 1968, but the 20-50 Preston- Blackpool South was not officially arranged. It was a regular steam job that summer. I rode on it on several Saturday evenings during May, June and July after steam had finished on the 'Belfast Boat...
Well, I was there! A regular on the 'Belfast Boat Express' from Manchester Victoria to Heysham until the end of steam on that service in May 1968. The 12-44 and 20-50 Preston - Blackpool South, both steam jobs that summer, and was on the last service steam job of all, the 21-25 Preston to...
