ECHOES OF THE BIG FOUR Another Journey Back To The Days Of Steam |
|
| SO GOOD I COULDN'T RESIST IT To date I had never seen this engine before, so on this occasion I could not resist taking one or two more photos of it. I don't ever remember seeing it again, so I'm really glad I took them when I did. 45154 Finished its career allocated to Speke Junction Shed, and was cut up by Drapers in Hull during 1964. |

TINTERN ABBEY Castle Class
Rapidly accelerating through the London suburbs, No.5087 heads West with a Western Region Express. |
|
| AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRETCH HER LEGS A Maunsell S15 gets the opportunity to blow away some cobwebs as she heads a Basingstoke semi-fast away from London through Wimbledon in 1960 |
|
|
RUNNING IN TURN 'Corfe Castle' fresh from overhaul has arrived at Reading with a stopping train from Swindon on a running in turn. |
|
| A CRACKING LITTLE ENGINE Great little engines to work on and ready for anything, this Nine Elms U boat appeared on an up semi-fast from Basingstoke, an ideal task for this type of engine, although I am a little concerned over the lack of a white feather at the valves. |

TOP SHED SHINE The lovely sight of a Kings Cross Top Shed (34A) Streak, always a feast for the eyes. No.60021 has covered a few miles but was still the choice for the Heart Of Midlothian Express on this day in 1959 |
|
| BUSY TIME OVER THE ASHPITS 'Yeovil' heads the queue over the ashpits, coming on shed at Nine Elms in 1961. |
