  • Very good but not many LMS

  • @vincentswift7 Hi, thanks for the comment. Sorry about the lack of LMS. I was a teenager living on the south coast of Hampshire and didn't have the wheels or resources to travel very far. I have quite a few more LMS shots but they're not of good enough quality to use on the slideshow. Visit steamweb.net for more pics

  • Great video! Lovely images. One thing that would be a little help is if you could write down in the corner what class each of them are (if you know) and what stretch of line they ore on (again, if you know)

    great vid though!!

  • @whitewingsrich

    Hi, Thanks for the comment. If you would like to see captions to the images, check-out the revamped version of the slideshow 'Steam at Work'. I have only just uploaded it.

    Thanks again

    Nigel

  • Nice shots with the usual bias against the GWR. More unusual is the high content of Southern Loco's.

  • @Loaded4th

    There's no biase. I was just a teenager at the time, living deep inside the SR. I just didn't have the resources to seek out GW steam before much of it disappeared - I didn't have a car!. The emphasis on Southern speaks for itself because that's where I lived.

  • Ah! What happy memories these images bring back, thanks so much.

  • @kapariz44 You are right about it being Walton,.

    After 10 minutes it sounds like handel, then at the end is Copland.It only lasts about 2 mins.

  • @NigelKendall Will do !! Many thanks

  • Many thanks Nigel. Wonderful pictures and music. I thoroughly enjoyed both.

  • Hmm, I notice that you describe the music as being from the Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland. Surely it's the Fugue from Walton's Spitfire Suite.
