Really valuable historic pictures, Ian. Thank you for sharing them. I have done basic some colour cast removal and level corrections, then re-posted them. But, overall, I am not sure that I do not prefer the originals as they were, complete with the colour cast. They somehow seem all the more nostalgic for that.

Thanks for the enhancements, I think the blue cast comes from my desire to bring up the details of the motion and wheels which are often obscured by the bright sunlight in the originals
