BR Standard class 2 tank no. 80104 heads the 14.30 service for Norden away from Swanage on 30th May 2010. The loco is currently awaiting overhaul following expiry of it's boiler ticket.
The former GWR locomotive depot at Oxley had closed as a running shed in early March 1967 but continued receiving engines for boiler washouts for a few months after. BR Standard Class 4 75033 from Carnforth is present for that purpose on 18th June 1967. Condemned locomotives, Stanier 8F 48180 and Ivatt Class 2 46446 await disposal while a VW Campervan provides an interesting counterpoint.

Class 2 46470, formerly of Kirkby Stephen, ended its days at Tyseley. It is seen here on a Bordesley-Princes End
pick-up goods at Blowers Green Junction, having exchanged the wild landscape of Stainmore for something more prosaic.
18th August 1966
In the process of building the locomotive as a load for my Allelys train transport truck, I realised that I might be able to build it as a running model without too many compromises for the looks and by housing a Lego train motor and the associated battery box in the tender.
BR Standard Class 2 78018 cruises towards Loughborough Central Station with the Windcutter rake of mineral wagons past the Charnwood Water footbridge. On the photo I notice the reflections of the trackside scenery on the smoke-box door, cylinder, dome and buffers. A tribute to the superb standard of preparation of the locos under the care of Great Central Railway.
BR Standard class 2 nos. 78018 & 78019 are seen passing Woodthorpe with the 12.45 service from Loughborough Central to Leicester North on 26th January 2024, during the GCR Winter Steam Gala.

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, my last photo on this visit to ESR is of 46447 which has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a day rover ticket for and which I joined at Cranmore West station after visiting the Sheds.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

LMS/BR 2MT 2-6-0 46521 (BR Swindon/1953) arriving at Dolgellau with the 14:55 from Barmouth to Bala on the last day of workings between Barmouth and Bala.
Loco allocated to Machynlleth shed (6F).
Dolgellau station was built by the Cambrian Railways, it opened in 1868 and was the terminus of the branch from Barmouth. It later became a through station with the arrival of the Great Western Railway's line from Ruabon and Bala. The station used the anglicized name Dolgelly until 1960 when it was changed to the correct Welsh spelling.
