My apologies Adrian. I feel I must correct your last statement.

 

It should read;

 

"A vac brake 16 tonner, there's posh!, look you."

 

An alternative might be;

 

" A vac brake 16 tonner, there's posh for you, is nit, look you."

The weathering in that third pic doesn't look very realistic.

What a fabulous series of photos.

[Captain Kernow]

Come on Rob, we want Sir Gomer!

[The Johnster]

Lot of memories in those photos!  There were parts of the Mountain Ash network where you couldn't see the rails, never mind the sleepers!

It does look a little odd but what a wonderful justification for running a loco with only one buffer head!

Happy New Year Rob, hope your shift wasn't too bad, I have many memories of doing nights on New Years Eve, not my favourite shift ever!

 

I don't think you'll need to count many sheep before you drop off...

[Alister_G]

My sympathies, I used to try for eight hours sleep after a twelve hour shift, but it never happened.

 

That's an excellent photo.

 

What a good idea to have the ash pile across the front of the shed.

[NHY 581]

Afternoon Al.

 

I'm a big fan of John Wiltshire photographs. They really capture the moment.
