Your first photo works beautifully. Only imagine it from the perspective of a 6 year old on the train platform. In the small midWestern town I grew up on, this is the locomotive that used to bring the passenger train with my visiting relatives on it. We would go down to meet the train, which we would first see as the headlight swung back and forth, far down the track, and then it would whoosh into the station. I was very impressed - the huge red curved nose, the glowing numerals,and the magnificent high cab are all lively memories.
