I had a few moments this evening and had chance to convert some of my DMR files from the day. All are as they came out of the camera (it's hard work getting film in and out of a DMR :)).

 

Here's Gibbo (180 2,8 wide open)

Very interesting and entertaining shots, Robert. The skin tones on the indoors close up shots with the 180 and 90AA looks a trifle warm and I expect that long-life light bulbs are the culprit. (I don't recall the 4 of us sitting in a sauna!):p

Speaking as someone who purchased his early Leica equipment by working on the railway in my vacations — long before the 'Elf & Safety days — those "Training" pictures are really worrying. The golden rules when moving freight wagons by hand are 1. Stay out of the 4 foot (i.e. between the rails) and 2. push from the rear so that if you stumble the wagon cannot run you down, neither can you be crushed between the moving wagon and a lineside obstruction (very common in freight yards!).

Orient,

 

Not to worry, it was a lone, low-loader in a decommissioned siding, he didn't spot (or didn't know) that the mechanical brake was engaged and he didn't manage to move it one scooby-doo. But he did manage to preen his paltry muscle tone while straining to shift the Immovable Object ... which appeared to be the object of the exercise:D
