I have been asked to make the cover for the latest Performance by The York Stars.
The play is called platform 9, I need a photograph of a steam train stood at a station platform.
If anyone has one that would like to donate it to make the cover of the program I will make sure you get credit for the image and also a copy of the program for a keepsake.

The image will probably be altered to give it a 50's feel so no need for it to be Mono, there can be people on the platform but better if they are not crowding the engine.

If anyone has one, whether it be a old photo that you took or a new one, as long as it is a steam train great.

Cheers all

Yep my thoughts too, I only have one, its not at a station though so too much shopping would have to be done.

Thanks Jan, added this to the little collection, they want examples, I have 10 already and I will use this one too and some that Ron is sending me as well, they are also going to be on posters around York when they reach a final decision, also if there is any cash reward (I doubt as it is AM-DRAM) I will let the luck y person know.

Sent John, but I bet Janet's is the one they go for - it seems to fit your requirements.

Good Luck.

Jeni if its before Thursday night that you go, try and get a close image of the train with the platform leading off behind to the right, although I can flip it if I need to.
