1994 Old Ghan engine coming along by FailingMemory

They have both steam and diesel locomotives from the old Ghan railway which was narrow gauge. They try to keep both types of engine operating, although as the staffing is by volunteers, which type of locomotive is in use will depend on the qualifications of those on duty that particular day. On our day we were running by steam and we came along to where the diesel was standing. If the weather gets too hot or windy they will also use the diesel for safety sake. Taken with a Pentax camera and Pentax 28 mm shift lens on Kodachrome 200 film.

Midland Railway Single 1896 by Mike Jeffries

Arguably one of the most graceful locomotives ever to have run on rails this class of 4-2-2 express engine designed by Johnson and built at the Midland Railways works at Derby were further enhanced by the wonderful Crimson Lake livery. The single driver enjoyed a brief period of popularity in the 1890s due to the recent development of the steam sander which helped adhesion on starting from rest but growing train weights led designers to revert to coupled wheel-sets, but lacking the fricton of coupling rods the single had a superior free running capability which made for economy on coal. Painted for a client in acylics on board 20”x30” about 8 years ago, today I’d use oils to exploit the colour of the loco and fade off the distance more and perhaps soften the smoke. Commissions?

'Royal Scots Grey' approaching Ramsbottom by Steve Liptrot

The British Rail Class 55 is a class of diesel locomotive built between 1961 and 1962 by English Electric. They were designed for the high-speed express passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh. They gained the name “Deltic” from the prototype locomotive, DP1 Deltic, which in turn was named for its Napier Deltic power units. 22 locomotives were built and they dominated services on the line until their withdrawal at the end of 1981. Six locomotives were preserved and are still running today. Featured in the Iron Horses Old and New group JUNE 2009. Nikon D80 – Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens – ND4 grad
