Teddy, I just don't know what I did wrong here!! Anyway, the engine is a D49 class named 'Morayshire'. I worked on this one and another of this class 'The Holderness' when I was on the railway. Morayshire has now been renumbered 246. Back in the nineteen fifties this class was numbered from 62700 to 62775. Morayshire was 62712. I worked on many Scottish region locos, mostly ex LNER. I have more photos of the engines at the local steam preservation shed but I am not so sure now about exactly how to upload them!! I enjoyed my time on the railway and travelled mainly between Dundee-Edinburgh -Aberdeen and on various local branch lines.

Teddy. The prints I have are from a digital camera and filed on the computer. They are jpg. When I tried the small one, thumbnail size really I guess, it seemed too small, but when (I think!) I double clicked that big one I thought the size would be just fine. I was wrong. Hope you can figure out this feeble attempt to explain!

Stu, if you want an application that is very simple to use that allows you to view image files and resize them, to 640x480, or 800x600 (probably best size for forum use) 1024x768, 1280x1024 or 1600x1200, then try Vallen Jpegger free download

As well as resize it also has facilities to rename, copy/paste etc

For those of you who have wondered what it would be like to drive a model railway, well here it is.

Probably the longest model in Britain at 10 scale miles, incorporating many scale buildings, and a very long tunnel.
The Beckonscot railway really is something. Started in 1929 and improved and expanded ever since it has to be the Mecca for enthusiasts.

Telford Steam Railway
Standard and narrow gauge with a variety of stem and diesel locomotives and rolling stock as well as a collection of old vehicles. There is also a 5" railway operating on the site.Unusual for having a steam tram.
Built by Alan Keef Ltd around 1977, this locomotive is powered by a vertical boilered steam engine, part of which was built by H Guy & Co. Ltd for a Victorian launch. It has a single cylinder and chain drive to both axles and was named Thomas by Rev Awdry in 1979.
The tramway that this diminutive locomotive operated on was built in Telford Town Park for the Telford Development Corporation. However, it did not last long and was dismantled and transported to Horsehay in the mid 1980's by TSR members. Track has been re-laid around the edge of Horsehay Pool and the tram steams on all public open days.
I have tried to paste a picture of this unusual vehicle but without success.

Derbyshire Dales Narrow Gauge
A 2' gauge established in 1968 this site specialises in industrial engines and rolling stock. Passenger travel was approved in 2004.

There does not seem to be a lot of useful information regarding this railway, and few pictures. They are listed as having a Hunslett but no photos of it. I believe that is a diesel as well.
The good news is that the fares are only £1.00

Teddy. What with a few things cropping up I haven't managed to go to any railway events this year. Maybe later! However my shovelling days are numbered now!!
By the way this place is Bo'ness Railway. Two friends of mine work there at weekends. It is their pastime, one has passed his driving course and his brother has passed his firemans course. They now sometimes travel all over the UK on steam train specials.
Mat. I can recall many times travelling on some branch line, chugging along, and whistling 'Take The A Train' or Meade Lux Lewis' 'Honkey Tonk Train Blues'. Those were the days!!
