Those Spitfires should have crashed due their bad longitudinal stability. :)

From the Severn Valley Railway a few years ago. The sandbags are part of a WWII celebration. I have no information on the train/loco.

We shall be back up here next week for 2 weeks so will try to upload some videos later.

Thank you Trumper, that is a beautiful video.

:) We have alot of preserved steam railways and they even run on the mainline as well.There is something magical about these living beasts.

Mind you i do have a soft spot for the diesels as i was initially trained on those 30 years ago and ironically they are rarer now than steam locos.

:) small video i took a couple of weeks ago on the http://www.nymr.co.uk/

We had a ride on the train between Grosmont and Pickering as well later on in the week.
Hope you like it.

That 4-6-4T at the end is an interesting beast. We did not operate many tank locos over here so to see one on a passenger train always catches me off balance.

In American practice tank engines were mostly used for switching (shunting), because of their small overall length and the short ranges they typically covered.

Those Gresely Pacifics are some of the most beautiful locomtives made anywhere.
