The Beyer-Garrets and the South African condensing locomotives (sorry forget the name) are some of the most interesting types made anywhere.

This film follows the progress of Jubilee class steam locomotive 5605 'Cyprus' , owned by the London Midland & Scottish Railway, as is passes through the railway workshops during an overhaul in the 1938.

In germany we have a broadcast called "Eisenbahn-Romantik".

Over 750 shows of 30 min. length. It shows from old locomotives to modern trains around the world and even covers the modeltrains. A good docu-series.

They have also a youtube-site.

LOL, no but seriously, I just purchased Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 during Steam's sale last week for $3.20 US. I enjoyed Railworks 2 for about a month of evaluation play, but couldn't see shelling out for full price. I couldn't resist $3.20.

Thanks for the photos!! Love the big, old, dirty trains....love the mechanics of them.

Those Spitfires should have crashed due their bad longitudinal stability.
