  • Leave it to the British to make such fine engines! Our Amercan ones are too...monstrous. I'll take a Flying Scottsman over a Big Boy and day! Of course, U.S. ones are a bit more intimidating...but British ones are more beautiful, smooth, elegant. Ups and downs on both sides.

  • Some of these photos make want to cry.

  • I think that Schools Class engines was at Cohen's Yard at Kettering- with an Underground train ready for the torch- a long way from home. Odd to see those L & Y tank engines still with LMS numbers.I hadn't realised that Vivaldi wrote all those Beatles tunes for them- they had to rock them up a bit- give them that Mersey Beat feel!!

  • @ZekPatterson A generous comment, much appreciated by this Englishman. Interestingly, one of the locomotives shown (the tank engine 30072) is in fact American. How I'd like to see some US steam locomotives! As you say, ups and downs on both sides.

  • I must know where you got this music! It's all fitting to the photos shown here.

  • The photographs take me back to being a kid again,there with my pocket notebook and pencil, getting all those numbers down. Great memories. Thanks.

  • ..........eine schöne reihe von schönheiten.........thanks

  • Great pictures. I must know who is playing these Beatles songs.

  • Great selection of shots...and the music too. Obviously it`s Yellow Submarine etc. by The Beatles but who is playing here please?

  • @ZekPatterson i agree with you on that one Zek 

  • At 5:39, there's a brilliant photograph of 61572. Where was the shot taken, and what year?

    Thanks for putting up such a splendid, evocative, collection of photographs. :)

  • Real railways!.... nothing else need be said.
