| Thanks, Andy. They really are dreadful scans, though. In the dark winter months I'll have another go. Phil |

| Hi Ross. I'm not an expert, but there's a tool in photoshop somewhere that I stumbled across. I've only an old version and it's a bit hit and miss. To be honest I was more bothered about the curvature than the 'lean'. The 18-70 seems to suffer from 'barrel' distortion at the wide end - even the loco is curved. The whole image needs pinching a little.

| Hello Phil. Some Great shots here. Well done. I was wondering if you could help me with this location. Where it is and how to get there would be a great help. Thank you for your time in this matter. Kind regards Phil Jones ..........philip_jones2000@hotmail.com

| It's Peak Forest. You can walk all the way from PF to Gt Rocks by taking a footpath which starts about 100 yards south of the old station. I get to PF itself by walking/jogging/sprinting(!) the two miles from Dove Holes if I can't be bothered to drive or I'm having a 'green' moment. Phil |
