Are you sure about the Brown Windsor? According to this account https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/victorian-brown-windsor-soup it is a myth, with no authenticated appearences on menus.

I was watching a video about the Singer works at Clydebank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLcG7UrW8lE and towards the end there a shot of a shunting locomotive which appears to be a Peckett (the short handrail on the saddle tank is a reliable diagnostic). This made me realise that I don't think I've ever previously seen a picture of a Peckett on an industrial site in Scotland, Barclays having a near-monopoly. Are there any other examples?

Three views on the former Caledonian system that duplicated the North Brirish line between Glasgow and Dumbarton Crossing the River Kelvin at Partick Central. The flour mills on each bank both once had their own sidings. Glasgow University in the distance. Meadowside Granary, built between 1911 and 1967 and said to be the largest brick-built structure in Europe. Scotstoun West, with Albion lorry factory beyond

On the Cavan & Leitrim. Is this an enthusiast or a local? and the County Donegal

Barry Pier

I have the vague memory I might have posted this before, but I think it's worth a second look.

Isn't Russell too big to run all the way to Blaenau? (which is why it butchered in the 1920s) Or was it only the now-bypassed Moelwyn tunnel that imposed the restriction?

On BBC iPlayer, an episode of Monitor with Betjeman reciting three of his poems in the bombed-out City of London. Several atmospheric glances of trains. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p022kr11/monitor-a-poet-in-london?seriesId=unsliced

And this 1975 picture of mine shows the same

Does anyone know how Portstewart Tram Loco No.1 ended up in Hull, of all places? Likewise the Ryde pier tramway "grapes" car?

I began my spotting career in Bristol and there was an alien world only a few miles away. Severn Tunnel Junction was a frontier point beyond which reigned the hordes of Class 37s, almost never seen in Bristol. Just a couple of miles further came the sight of Llanwern steelworks, resembling a portal into Hades. Then came Newport where you could stand on the platforms and watch the unending succession of coal and ore trains passing through. Further on was the lure of Woodham's at Barry, and the mysterious labyrinth of the Valleys where, it was rumoured, steam locos were still to be seen at work.

MIldmay is a bit awkward to say and people won't know if it's pronounced milled or mylde.

Not from Flickr, but rather the Sankey Photographic Archive. https://www.sankeyphotoarchive.uk/collection/view/?id=900417 A picture of the Ravenglass & Eskdale when it was mixed gauge between Ravenglass and Murthwaite

I think I remember this apricot colour on several stations in the Westcountry, as seen here at Newquay in 1974
