What's that long and hot squirty thing then?

A steam lance - presumably she is Miss Lancelot?  Definitely bigger than the UK version (of steam lance that is) - steam lances were fun, as long as you didn't point them at anybody.  here's one being used on a proper engine - if the link works

Perhaps cut some off the support off first Phil and test it that way, and I'd suggest a new blade when cutting the valance tabs for a good clean cut ( I'm sure you would have anyway ).

I'm still reeling from the accusations that this thread is full of double entendres and ladies, so I thought I better mend my ways and post some train pictures.

sorry about all the ladies, they just happened to be in the shots.

You want a double entendre? All right, I'll give you one.

[NHY 581]

Well, I see our good friend Rob has changed his from nhy581 to NHY 581. Perhaps it's him.

Nope not me. Saw the opportunity to correct a case of sausage fingeritus.

 

 

I now display the correct reg. number.

 

 

Daft bu@@er.

 Definitely bigger than the UK version

Aah but have you ever seen a UK version handled in that way? You'd be surprised!

 but I was distracted by DS 1169 (Broad Clyst Engineers' Yard Shunter; just the right size for my Warwell Wagon.)

I've done a lot of searching, including image matching on Google, but can't find it.  I would say that it fairly definitely is not on the Cambrian, various things don't fit for that.  It might be on a Colonel Stephens line but I can't as yet find one that matches and teh distant signal makes me wonder if it is nit one of his.  The signal suggests to me that it might be in a former GER area while the crossing gates fit for GER/LNER or SR.

 

Best I can do.

[Mallard60022]

Could be The Anglias, not that I know anything about that area.

Feering? - Kelvedon-Tollesbury.

I remembered the vehicle body - likely to have been a bus.

It is Feering Halt on the Tollesbury Branch. I would have thought one of you would have sused it out sooner.

 

Mrs M use to keep Lola the Big 'Orse at a stables that backed on to the old line and they use to ride along it.

 

For Mike, the distant signal is for Kelvedon Low level station and the junction up to the mainline.

Quite a cute little line to a part of Essex that most people in Essex don't realise exist. Well it is a bit bleak and barren, just like round here.

 

It closed in 1951 except for trains too and from the jam factory in Tiptree. Nice jam. Colchester based class 04s were the last locos used on the line.

 

[2ManySpams]

I didn't realise that part of Essex existed...

[GRUNFOS]

Not many do.............................

What a wonderful little railway. That's what railways were all about IMO

See Essex ain't all 'Arlow and Basildon  with a day out to Southend or Clacton.

Handy for the station, but a bit close to the road, for my liking.

[brianusa]

Substantial residence as the estate agent would say.  Semi Southern colours as well but I bet they have to walk a long way to get in the station in spite of the close proximity; bit of a clamber otherwise.

If it wasn't close to the road it wouldn't have been much use as a crossing-keeper's cottage.

M. A. B. it's a Big 'Orse.
