I can't say as I'm a train buff, although I love all kinds of machinery.
The scrapyard pictures are superb, so atmospheric.
I wouldn't know one from another, but steam trains are epic.
I took this recently, (posted elsewhere on here)

My friend is a train driver instructor.
He once took me to London from Liverpool in the cab of a Pendolino, although bland and without character, seeing the tilt from inside the cab is unbelievable. As a passenger you don't get to see the crazy tilt angle, but in the cab you get the real view....

I've just put my very first video together using some pictures that I have collected over the years about my old favourite engine shed, Edge Hill code 8A.
Due to the age of the pics the quality is not HD.

I wonder how many of the locos were scrapped or saved?

Very nice. Only ever got there right at the end of steam, about 10 locos on shed, the place was almost derelict.
Had I gone three years earlier, it would have been full of Semis, Princesses, Scots, Pates, Jubes......
Of which I saw a few Jubes, but none of the others except in preservation, ever.
