Beautiful. (That final shot would also be lovely if you were five feet or so further back. Although this might have put you on the tracks I suppose.) I love that lens. What's the crop factor on an RD1?
 
Some nice photos. I like the first one the best, beautiful warm colours. 3rd and 4th are also good, though I agree with sparrow on the last photo. The 2nd photo is a nice view but the processing reminds me of HDR. It could be my eyes playing tricks on me, though. Was it that bright, despite the cloud cover?
 
Thanks for the kind comments. The platform was quite busy so I was quite limited for the last shot; I agree it would look good with a little more space.

The skyline shot I used a grad filter to darken the sky a bit because the glass left a hazy mark/reflection unless I darkened the sky. I like the effect but agree it looks a bit 'processed'. This isn't what is naturally do but it ads some drama.

Thanks again
Chris
 
Very good choice. I think 40-45 is a great angle of view and is currently my favorite on film. It has the spaciousness of 335 and the muscle of 50. Or enough of each to be likable.
 
Btw I did a whole bunch of rolls of Tri-X once in Xtol 1:1 with Rodinal 1:100 added, and overagitated somewhat (or so I think) and many of them looked the way your Waterloo Shard (pic 2) came out. Also a bright cloud-covered winter sky, a whitish landscape, wtih dark trees, buildings....

Yes I've had similar results with HP5 in ID11. It's quite a striking look. I like the high contrast.
