Steam train visits Christchurch again.....

Another grey day in Christchurch....cold,dampish and not doing anything really. I had family arriving to cook a lovely roast lamb dinner to celebrate my birthday earlier in the week.. I decided to see what I could get for a blip with the steam engine which had another day trip to Arthur's Pass. I planned to photograph it after it left the railway station. Something beautiful about the noise, smell smoke, steam etc etc..... check out a prior blip here. I thought this lent itself to something olde worlde in colour, to fit with the steam train era.....
