tarboat has posted:

Canadian style pacific locomotive 'Winston Churchill' was completed for the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway by the Yorkshire Engine Company (2294) in 1931. It is seen here awaiting departure from Hythe with a train to Dungeness. During the journey a slight rain shower caused the locomotive to slip repeatedly and the driver did well to keep the train moving.

North Midland Railway

Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust has restored the old station building at Wingfield on the route of the North Midland Railway which opened a line from Derby to Leeds in 1840. As part of the interpretation of the station and surroundings the Trust raised £8,000 through a crowd funding appeal to save the stone crest with the coat of arms of the railway that once adorned the main entrance to the original Derby Railway Station, and relocate it to Wingfield Station where it can now be seen at the back of the car park.

Bulleid pacific 34067 'Tangmere' heads the Great Britain XVIII tour up the Midland Railway Disley cutoff line on its way to Carlisle. The train is approaching the Hatherlow Lane footbridge in Hazel Grove. It was over sixty years ago that I used to spot trains from this bridge and it was a real bit of nostalgia to see steam again at this spot, even if it wasn't the ex LMS and LNER locomotives that we used to see. As kids we knew this location as 'Skelly Bridge'. There weren't any trees and it was double track back in the day.
