But I also know that there are certain images which are often hotlinked from my (work) web site quite often ... and copied quite often too, I know how I trace them, I know what I can (and very occasionally DO do) if I find them elsewhere in this way, and (sorry) I don't have the time to risk finding myself in the firing line over a picture of an electrodiesel  Lips sealed
Slightly off topic, but reminds me of a time another seller hotlinked to an image of something I was selling on ebay.  They linked the image directly to my website.  Got the link changed on my listing then changed the image that was shown in the old location to something slightly more inappropriate.  Amusing to see their listing with this picture and they become NARU (Not a Registered User - probably due to showing an inappropriate picture) within a few hours!

Hi All,

I am sure that is the engine I seen at Paddington at the front of an HST (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) when we left could I been the bright sunshine ( or couple of bottles of wine on eurostar ) that made me think is was white.

Maybe slightly off topic - but welcome backup (thank you) for me ... this shows the sort of things that can happen if you hotlink or otherwise use pictures you're not supposed to.

73107 has been to Paddington a few times a day every day so far this week. Is being used for route learning between Old Oak Common and Paddington, has also done a couple spins around the Greenford Loop (HST (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) drivers need to sign this in the event of a power car/set turning move).
