I have been told what this is, but I can't remember - I know that it is an Italian Crosti - the photo was in Dad's collection. He went through Italy on his way to the Middle East in the 1930s, so it could have been taken then. post-14351-0-67203400-1490385562_thumb.jpg

 

 

Please find the worst travesty of a steam loco - a round-about - park railway - (Don't include Thomas or we will get sued)

Back to October 1973 (and my trusty Instamatic).  Class 09 D4102 had done a bit of a "heavy shunt" of parcels stock at Waterloo.  the railwayman looks a bit overcome.

Well it has to be steam.  Here is DR oil-fired 2-10-0 44 0194 at rest, and then banking a freight (hauled by classmate 44 0338) up the hill out of Sangerhausen, August 1978.

The next one will be an electric operating with both pantographs raised.

The date on this photo may not be accurate, as it was from a batch of negatives in an envelope marked 1963, but one or two others have proved to have been from other dates.

Can we have a station platform reaching to the entrance to a tunnel please? No tube stations please.

Sorry about that, Jon. An excellent choice of box though. I'll look out some smokey Joes ready for when you get your go!

Two branch line terminus loco sheds for the price of one - because I'm not absolutely sure one of them survives.

 

First Thaxted - former terminus of a branch line from Elsenham.  Here is the loco shed and water tower (from April 1977) - I think both still exist.

Second Moretonhamptead - former terminus of a branch from Newton Abbot - loco shed still standing in 2012.

Staying with this theme, the next picture shows a water column or water crane.
