ScR 65917 on Polmont Shed Scotland August 1951 by John Wiltshire
[Neg 114]
Sometimes you get an old large format negative and think that  could be something special !

I love atmospheric steam shed shots and I dont think they come much better than this by John. Shaft of sunlight, steam, fireman moving coal in the tender.

Digital processing has punched up the contrast  and got rid of a few scratches, but nothing much else has been done to the original neg
