After the opening of the Borders Railway, running from Edinburgh, down through Stow, through Galashiels to Tweedbank, regular steam hauled excursions plied the line. Because of the steep gradients and lack of a means of turning the loco at Tweedbank, a diesel loco was attached to the rear.
My wife and I were booked on the line for the final trip of the year, back in October, and here is a photograph of the said diesel loco.
Type 67 "Diamond Jubilee", here seen at Waverley Station, Edinburgh.
Nikon D80, Nikon 18 - 135 mm lens, set for 22 mm.
1/30 sec, f5, ISO 900, Aperture priority.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
