Hi,

Fantastic, amazing! :-)
What great moods, usually steam in hot conditions is rather dull, but of course it can be quite cool in Northern India during winter. These ash collectors remind me of China, I could still experience such...

Hats of to you John for such a priceless collection. Your pics bring back, a kind of emotion, and sentiment that I used to have, seeing trains in my childhood years. That emotion is missing now, thanks to all the standardization!
Thank you!
