Nice shots with some unusual perspectives. The SR side of me likes the shot of the 455s 
Nice pics there... I especially like that one of the (kinda) black and white / (kinda) colour 1992 stock
Again... I am NOT tube veg
like that one too how was it done???
Hi everybody, thanks for your kind comments. Hugely appreciated 
Hi Kestrel and thanks for your interest.
There were two halves to getting the shot to look like this... This particular shot was taken using a 100-400mm L Series f4-f5.6 lens at f5 and focussed on the train with the shallow depth of field producing the blurry bits. A focal length of 235mm produced the nice compressed effect
The processing was done in Adobe Lightroom. A push at the top of the curve and a pull at the bottom of the curve gave the contrast and all the colours other than the red channel (which was boosted) were reduced to zero. It's not quite as clean as you would get by using Photoshop to desaturate everything but the train, as you can see from the slight hint of red in the railings. Finally, a little sharpening was done and then a vignette added to give that Top Gear effect.
I hope this helps and you didn't find it too over the top.

Nice photos Mark. I really like the head-on shots the 73 and the 66s.

Thanks for the explanation always wondered how it was done, might give it a go myself, as the effect gives a good result
