In this image, SRT locomotive 5215, built by CRRC passes locomotive 3022. I thought this locomotive looked interesting because the front grill and such reminded me heavily of the BR 218 - and it turns out I was right, this locomotive was built by Henschel (the company that built the BR 218) and predates the BR 218 and 215 by around 4 years, making it 60 years old (at the time of writing), a full 58 years older than the locomotive passing it in the photo.
Sadly, locomotive 3022 is really showing it's age with literal plants growing through it, showing it hasn't been moved for a while. But in a way, I'm happy it still exists - back in the UK the locomotive would've likely been scrapped by now. And who knows, 3022 could be restored back to it's former glory by a team of dedicated Thai railway enthusiasts in the future, and it's much easier to preserve a locomotive when it isn't scrapped.
As always, this was taken on my Canon R50 with an Canon RF-S 18-45mm lens.
This time however, I edited the photo in Darktable instead of using my old workflow with adobe products and honestly I loved it. However I do believe you can see my inexperience with editing in Darktable, but, as always, practice makes perfect and I'm not leaving it to go back to Adobe crap anytime soon.

Well, sort of.
I can only confirm that the leather-seat tin-can called "THN" is short for "Tokyu Hitachi and Nippon Sharyo", and its plastic seat counterpart "NKF" is "Nippon Sharyo, Hitachi, and Fuji Heavy Industry
The rest is just pure confusion for me
And steam loco? Oh boy
