 * Welcome back! But unfortunately this pic's not up to your usual standards, I'm just not feeling it's interesting enough nor technically stellar. Sorry, oppose. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 19:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support I beg to differ. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support I agree with JJ Harrison - I like this... gaz hiley .co.uk  10:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Not subject matter that would normally interest me, but it certainly draws my eye. J Milburn (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support. Good use of line, though I suppose these kind of images are a bit clichéd... -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 07:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't follow - what do you mean? What line and how clichéd? gaz hiley .co.uk  10:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * How cliched?? See how every photo of a train on google is taken from this angle? I think that's what he means by cliched. And by line, he's referring to the composition. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough... Was just curious as I tend to accociate cliches with words rather than images... Also wasn't sure if he meant line as in train line as in that this train was a good use of the train line - seemed an odd comments hence my question... Thanks tho... gaz hiley .co.uk  09:16, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That said though looking in our archive there's not one single train picture at this angle, so is it that much of a cliche? Featured_pictures/Vehicles/Land gaz hiley .co.uk  09:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, cliche or convention? WikiProject_Automobiles/Conventions states that images are preferred to be taken from "the front ¾ view". Yes, that's more specifically about cars, but presumably the same standards would generally be applied to other vehicles? Showing both front and side views together simply gives the best EV. --jjron (talk) 11:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * And it looks nice. J Milburn (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Good, solid image, adds value to the article.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
