Along the quays in Bristol they have a wee steam train running on the old lines and a team of volunteers operating the equipment. it was great to be right in there close up to all the old gear and rolling stock.
Bought some years ago in an antique shop, this anonymous print has been identified as taken at a WD depot in SW England some time after WW1. If anyone would care to add more info, they would be very popular!

WD - Diplomatic Corps Wien
I spent the last two weeks of July in Central Bavaria with my family. Beautiful beer gardens, outdoor pools and so on, but nothing at all for platespotting. Then an excursion to Munich (first airport, then city centre) came quite right.
As expected, many foreign vehicles could be seen at the airport car parks. Unfortunately there were no exotics: GR, RUS(77) and IRL were the highlights of the day.
This diplomatic vehicle from Austria was the only foreign CD-plate on that day. I could imagine with a little luck discovering far more interesting things. But unfortunately Munich is not exactly around the corner for me. That means another visit in the near future is not too likely. ;-)
Seen in Munich, about 400km from home.
On 29 August 1964, 8F 2-8-0 90596 passes the remains of the closed Crossgates Station on 16 August 1963 with a long train of empty 24.5T mineral hoppers. It was based at Mexborough 36 and in 1955 at Frodingham 36C, but it moved to Polmadie in April 1958 and stayed there until August 1963, when it moved to Aberdeen Ferryhill 61B. It left there in April 1966 for Thornton 62A, and was withdrawn when the depot closed to steam in April 1967.
WD 90534 runs light, tender first through Bogside on the Alloa-Dunfermline line . 8/9/66. This line is now a tarred cycleway - one that I have walked often in the last few years.
War Department 2-8-0 no. 90733, was built at the Vulcan foundary, Newton-le-Willows and was sent to work in the Netherlands, before moving to the Swedish State Railways. It was acquired by the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway in the 1970's and eventually returned to running order. In this view of the loco approaching Ingrow, it has been renumbered as 90711, bearing a 56F (Bradford Low Moor) shed plate. The original 90711 was allocated to that depot from 1958 to 1966, being withdrawn in January 1967 and cut up at Wadsley Bridge, Sheffield.
