Glad you're happy. Let me know if you need more done.
I just like to do photo restores.

Two brilliant improvements - thank you so much Peter.
The one of the engine driver with his train is spot on.
The other photograph shows up the waggons really clearly together with the steam which is just what was needed.
Is there any possibility of getting the water colour a little more realistic. I attach a modern day picture of the reservoir which I hope will be of help.

I look forward to E-Mails from anyone who would like to share or talk about our family history.

Hope this is better for you, Andy. Colour is not my strong suit - partly colourblind. If it's still not quite right I certainly have no objection to other restorers with better colour vision using my restores and adjusting it for you.
Cheers,
Peter

Just trying to help McGroger, I lowered the saturation and evened the overly bright green in the center.

I just like to do photo restores.
