Very nice composition on the loco shots. Did you line them up by eye or crop afterwards?

A bit of both. I generally try to get the composition as good as possible in the first place and then use Photoshop to fine-tune if required. Some of those photos were taken, for instance, with my extreme wide-angle zoom, so I've adjusted them to reduce distortion a bit. I also edited some of these to get the contrast and colour a bit better; black steam engines on a sunny day are actually hard to photograph well!

I love steam trains I don't know where i got he passion from. But there is just something about riding them and the way the train feels.
