Mid-Hants Railway, August 2001. Visiting 9F waits at Ropley to tackle the banks with a non-stop 9 coach train ifrom Alresford to Alton

WC Pacific Bodmin at Alresford, Mid-Hants Railway, August 2001.

Merchant Navy Class pacific Canadian Pacific comes of a nine coach set at Alresford, August 2001. A diesel shunter will pull the set into the platform since otherwise the train would foul the points at either end of the loop.

                                         West Country pacific Taw Valley (in its Hogwarts Castle red livery) runs round its train at Bridgnorth, Severn Valley Railway on August Bank Holiday 2001. A4 60009 is being positioned ready for lighting up prior to running in turns.

Bridgnorth shed, late afternoon August Bank Holiday 2001.

Stanier 8F runs into Bewdley, SVR on the afternoon of August Bank Holiday 2001 (or is it really 1951?)

                           Talyllyn No1 simmering gently at Dolgoch Falls having taken water the train waits for the guard to check tickets. August 2000.

                                      Talyllyn No2 Dolgoch waits at Abergynolwyn on one of the TRs Sunday music specials. The location has a special tranquility on a summer's evening, with music from the buffet the quiet hiss of the blower and occasional thump from the air pump on the engine. August 2000.

                                        The newest and most powerful engine in the Talyllyn fleet is No7 Tom Rolt, rebuilt from an Irish engine designed to haul peat. Steams on almost anything! The first engine I cleaned as a TR volunteer, Spring Bank Holiday 2001, Rhydyronen.

                          Super power on the 2 foot gauge Vale of Rheidol. These large GWR 2-6-2 tanks make a wonderful sound as they climb the 4 miles of 1 in 80 grades to Devils Bridge. Pity about the oil firing though. August 2000.

                                       Currently under heavy general overahul, the Mid-Hants BR Standard 5 is expected back on the main line late 2001 or early 2002. Summer 1999 departure from Ropley.

                                   Talyllyn No 1 at Abergynolwyn, August 2001.

Bulleid Merchant Navy class Canadian Pacific baskin winter sunshine at Medstead, Mid-Hants railway with a Santa Special on 23rd December 2001.

LNER N7 runs round its train at Holt on the North Norfolk Railway. Date not recorded but probably around 1994. The loco is now a permanent resident and is currently under overhaul in Weybourne shed.

                                       Another view of the N7, this time at Sheringham on the NNR.
