Birma. Thank you for your comments. Although I have visited the museum on several occasions this was my first visit at a Thomas event and I was impressed at the show they put on.

Aster, Thank you and perceptive. I am indeed attempting to create a set of images that by stretching the imagination just a little could be taken as illustrations from a book.

Very nice photos Ossie, great colours.

In a field close to home, probably placed there for kids of another era.

That's a quaint little one DA, maybe it's a shunting type engine, but I'm only guessing.

I cant seem to see the Canadian ones which is a shame. Very fond of Canadian Pacific.

Good closeup there DA, looks like 5726 could do with a little tlc though. The port looks busy interesting shunting shot.

Great Shots of Roberts Bank - it's where all the coal comes and goes isnt it? The close up is good too - quite an old loco. A few of my own large collection below.
