RD14787. Among the numerous weird and wonderful devices to be seen at the Ffestiniog Railway's 'Quirks & Curiosities II' gala weekend was SAMSOM, a recreation of the original locomotive of this name built by Stephen Lewin in Poole in 1874.
It was built for the London Lead Company's Cornish Hush lead mine in Co. Durham. It only had a short working life operating over a one mile long tramway until the mine closed in 1904. It was of unusual design resembling a traction engine with crankshaft and flywheel drive.
The original was 1ft 10in gauge, but this replica built at the Beamish Openair Museum, is 2ft gauge which mean that it can make guest appearances on other railways. The Beamish recreation was produced from one photograph and two engravings of the original.
During the Festiniog's 'Q&CII' gala weekend it was on display and steaming up and down in Minffordd Yard.

Formerly served as Engine 161 and later as the reserve engine. This unit was involved in a crash in 2019. The department decided to both repair and refurbish the apparatus and return it service as Engine 162. The ALF then took over reserve duties.

1500 GPM - 400 Tank - 75' Aerial
Shop #359 Pierce #13618 Model: Dash
This is the only quint on the DFD roster. Engine 48's response area can be cut off from the rest of the city by a draw bridge over the Rouge River being up. As a result a quint is assigned to this company in case an aerial would be needed for a rescue. Notice that this apparatus carries "the bundle" but that it is located on the side of the apparatus under the turntable.

Twenty three minutes later and in sunlight Ken takes a squint at the photographer as British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 approaches the foot crossing at Birstall with the same 13.30 ex-Loughborough service.
Back in 2004 Kentucky Street in Memphis was still open to cross. Here BNSF 9705 is the DPU on an inbound loaded coal on the Thayer South Sub.
You people are always saying you'd buy one of my engines if I made one available. Well you know what? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU
On Monday, May 30, 1988, we began the long trek home as VIA Rail Canada's Atlantic, train 11, departed Halifax, Nova Scotia at 12:35.
By around 17:00, we had entered New Brunswick, and paused at the station at Moncton for a 20-minute servicing and crew change stop. During the stop, I snapped a couple photos, though I have no memory of this whatsoever. My guess, since no headlight is displayed on VIA Budd car 6139, that this consist is headed eastward (away from me) on train 614 between Saint John and Halifax.

Steam locomotive and tender (sectioned), No 35029 ‘Ellerman Lines’, Merchant Navy Class, 4-6-2, built for Southern Railway, designed by O V Bulleid at Eastleigh, 1949, rebuilt to current form in Sept. 1959. Length over buffers: 72'; width 8' 7"; height 12' 9"; weight: 97 ton, 18 cwt; driving wheel diameter 6’ 2”.
Ellerman Lines is the National Railway Museum’s only locomotive which shows the internal workings of a steam locomotive. It is a Merchant Navy Class, 4-6-2 locomotive built for Southern Railway, designed by O V Bulleid at Eastleigh, 1949. When Ellerman Lines was built it had air-smoothed casing, and several of Bulleid’s unconventional engineering features, such as chain-driven valve gear in an enclosed sump between the frames. Although speedy and powerful the Merchant Navy Class proved heavy on maintenance and were rebuilt in a more conventional form from the mid-1950s onwards – Ellerman Lines was rebuilt in 1959 to the design it has today.
The Southern Railway’s Merchant Navy Class locomotives were all named after shipping companies which had called at Southampton Docks, many of which were involved in the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II. The company Ellerman Lines had been operating from the late nineteenth century and large portions of its fleet had been requisitioned by the British Government for war service.
Ellerman Lines was withdrawn from service in 1966. In 1976 it was carefully sectioned on its right-hand side, to reveal the internal construction and the workings of a modern steam locomotive. The National Railway Museum’s Explainers use Ellerman Lines when giving talks about how a steam locomotive works.
