Hi

The train standing at platform 3 of Aviemore station, in the highlands of Scotland, runs on the Strathspey steam railway. Situated in the Cairngorms national park, Aviemore is popular with walkers and cyclists in the summer and snowsports enthusiasts in the winter.

For this weeks challenge, you have an empty station scene, what will you do with it?

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

Hi

We've not seen a post from her for a while. Will the train appear in another part of the universe when the portal is working again?

Dave,

Remember that the weekend runs from Friday to Friday, so you have three days still.

The tune for the G&P commercial is, of course, The Ballad of Casey Jones:

Hi

Bob - Great start with Thomas, it fits well

Rista - That's a clever use of both this week's train and the old tube scene to make a ghost train.

Graham - Period costume for a period scene. I wonder if that could be Brunel and he has come to build us a bridge.

Trevor - The Harry potter poster using the train was good - but I love the toy train idea.

Jane - Who got a train set for Christmas then ?

Rafael - He'll be caught for dangerous flying. Is that why he set fire to the train in your second image?

Jacob , are those animals hitching a ride or did they get caught up on the train's journey through nearby farmland?
John - That's a very clever idea to give the train legs, and very well executed.

Plenty time for more!

Dave
