Hi Geoff, Just pulling your chain!.
LMS Photo's:- With all the focus and speed questions flying around, I am surprised no-one has asked "why the Slide motion on the Duchess appears static, while the coupling rods are very blurred". I know one is working in the horizontal and the other in a circular pattern, and the slide motion could be at the end of its stroke. But it begs many theories from the "experts". Whereas on the K27, all appears static!. Either a very fast shutter speed or a very slow engine! OOPS!.
(Or the rod bearings on the Duchess have a lot of play).
TTFN.

Hello, Tony et al,,
Of course it was "tongue in cheek" and I wanted to see who would lecture me. naturally, you did! As Dave C wrote, if we had a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in a short time they would be talking about wicks!--and we are now discussing those wicks on this group, which I find very interesting (as I did the digital stuff actually!)
Well, thanks for the lecture. BOO!
Larry Buerer (who appears once in a while on this group) and myself were the digi photographers for our GR Society until our Editour Rick Platz acquired a digi camera. Now I always have excuses--how can you run a train with a beer glass in one hand and the bloody camera in the other?? Tell me! No wonder my eyebrows are scorched.
On that, thanks for the lecture, the humour and-I forgot what the other was!!--Actuallyt I got very jealous of those LMS photos-- even if they were inspirational! All those photos were really great, LMS and all.
