Firefly under construction at Didcot, quite a long time ago. The replica, not the original, as that was before the days of colour photographer, and long before I was born!

Some pictures taken in 1990 at Zweilutschinen works on the open day for the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Bernese Oberland Bahn.

Hmmm.... not had a chance to start one of these new format challenges yet. How about the word Southern.

 

Interpret as you wish, something that you would connect with Southern, be it relative to a country, the old railway company, name of a station, whatever you have in mind.

 

For me, Southern always means EMUs and memories of going down to watch the classic Mk1 sets in the Orpington area as a child. Not scanned in my old prints yet, but the only digital photo I have of a heritage set in service:

Plus from the Eden Valley Railway a couple of years back:

What a challenge..............my first railway memories are all associated with the Southern Region, I work for Southern Shorthaul Railroad, I have a few images taken on the Southern Railway in India and my favourite US railroad is the Southern Pacific. Alas with the latter I have no images - my only visit to the US being during a times when my interest in railway was at a low ebb.

 

So, on the Southern Region, E5001 sits at Dover Marine with the Golden Arrow in August 1967 - the first railway photograph I ever took

 

On the Southern Railway in India, Southern Railway WP class 4-6-2 no.7607 departs Quilon for Trivandrum on 26 December 1978. Built by the Canadian Locomotive Company, Ontario in 1956. 

 

Southern Shorthaul Railroad's S317/GM27/GM10/S302 maintain a steady 80 km/h as they rattle past the disused silos at Caltowie with the 1400km transfer move of 90 redundant coal hoppers from Port Augusta to Lithgow, New South Wales on 28 October 2016.

I think that my first Southern experience was a holiday in Margate in 1953. I was very taken with the King Arthur class and their romantic names, one of which is below.

How about this arch in Waterloo station listing all the counties served by the LSWR, a constituent of the Southern Railway:

Bulleid Pacific no. 34027 'Taw Valley' waits to depart Bewdley in May 2015 with the Belmond British Pullman that had not long before arrived from London Victoria. This was one of the first trains it hauled after overhaul.

Another couple of pictures of an "Arthur" for Phil! Sir Lamiel on the KWVR

 

Both at Haworth (after IIRC receiving attention when failed on a Railtour)

It left the works and headed up the valley, returning North piloting 85 on a normal service before being detached at Keighley and disappearing towards Skipton
