Ken Young has sent in pic number one, taken just after he took his pic of the loco in the previous post; Stanier 'Pacific' No.6201 Princess Elizabeth. 'Lizzie' was heading 'The Coronation Scot' out of Crewe on 12th November 2011. See the previous post for more details.

A shot of a West Coast Railway Company class 37 is up next , taken by Matthew Chambers at Wigan. 37685 Loch Arkaig, is shown on a light engine working, Southall - Carnforth, on 3rd November 2011.

Bob McClellan's shot of EWS (DBS) class 66, 66094, on a Castle Cement tanks working is featured next, pic number five. The freight working is shown passing over Helwith Bridge at Sherrif Brow on the Settle and Carlise line on 27th July 2011.

A replica of an 1815 locomotive is up next, pic number seven. David Quayle visited Beamish Museum on 17th October 2010 and photographed the replica 'Steam Elephant' on the Pockerley Waggonway, complete with wagons of the period.
Shot number nine is from David Wood. His pic was taken at the East Lancs Railway Gala of 1999 and features class 45, D120, double heading with BR 'Britannia' class 4-6-2, No.70013 Oliver Cromwell.
The final pic is a montage of three from yours truly. The location is Wolverhampton Stafford Road shed in 1962 (I was 16 years old) where many GWR engines were lined up for scrap. The locos in the pic are No.6929 Whorlton Hall, No 6005 King George II (still in service at the time) and No. 1006 County of Cornwall. The camera was a Halina 35mm, the film was FP3, it was developed and printed via the local chemist in Thatto Heath, St Helens, and the photos were printed by one of my brother's teachers at Central Modern School, St Helens. And I remember it all as if it had taken place yesterday.
