Pictures of steam locos

I think the road is a kids go-cart track Marty. They do get a bit over competitive at times.

Saw this linked on another site, 1863 and still steaming along

A godsend Mick also for the puzzle.The clarity is everything.

Sorry for the delays in adding new pics. Today was the first Steam Special of the year, the GB10  and it was being hauled by No. 34052 'Lord Dowding' and No. 46100 'Royal Scot'. 'Lord Dowding' is in fact 'Braunton'. Hope to get more tomorrow when they return from Penzance and take on water at Plymouth.

Off to Bodmin tomorrow for another crack at Tornado. Watch this space.

I didn't realise that any of the class 43's were still in the Intercity 125 livery

They have 2 in InterCity and two in Swallow as well. Keeping my eyes open for the others
