The conversion to B&W. Very lightly cropped and sharpened.

Is there any thing else I could have done with this photo?

Hi Ed,
Looks good to me. Good contrast, certainly a well-suited subject for BW I guess the question is, were there particular features you wanted to emphasize? Curious what method you used for conversion.

I like the b/w better than the color. I also like your crop that got rid of distracting element at the back. So good choice for my taste in post processing. The reason i like b/w is that it demphasizes the roof behind and the triangle left bottom.

I am not sure that this is the best composition for this subject. Usually you like to have line leading into the picture. Here you have it leading out at an extreme angle. You also have the bottom left doing same.

For me this picture either needs a different orientation (with bokeh if the background is not nice) so the lines lead into the picture or a zoom in on one of the wheels so the lines are not leading away.

It's hard to beat the heavy industrial look of steam engine kit! I like it.
