The harbourside in Bristol, the steam engine brings back memories of days gone by. The old warehouses of yesteryear now replaced by the new apartments blocks.
'Standard 5' no. 73156 forges south past Woodthorpe with 'diner' - actually a lunchtime train. The fence on the right doesn't normally see people hanging around waiting for trains, but 'Tornado' was out and about, and that loco is a big draw wherever it goes.

My question was: I found this photo in an old album. I wonder what this is. Such a strange vehicle. WHO KNOWS? I suppose this photo is made in Amsterdam, Holland.
Before c. 1950.
I got a lot of answers! See all the comments.
Flickr. member Herman van den Bossche - see comments here - found a picture from 1922 elsewhere! www.hdks.nl/HTML/2008/Derny/index.htm It is special built for races with bikes staying right behind it. Poor cyclist! And the wooden background is recognised too. The place were these competitions were kept!
Probably this photo is made before 1915.
(I recently inherited four fat albums with old photographs, coming from a dear aunt that became very old. Only sometimes there is some description and date written in these albums. I found this old photo there. It seems a pity to throw this picture away. Other pictures are people, parties etc. Some pictures are around 1880/1900, I think. These were the pictures my aunt inherited herself. Most of the pictures are period 1900/1990. Almost sure this is a member of my family. The face is not so recognisable).
'Mutual improvement classes' were a feature of steam locomotive sheds back in the day. Indepependent of the official railway management, they were set up and run by enginemen to maintain and improve the way engines were prepared and handled, problems dealt with, etc. The tradition has been maintained, more or less intact, at most UK heritage railways.
At the GCR the most recent class was on boiler gauge glasses, and in particular how to change one - in theory straightforward but potentially tricky when everything is very hot and there is maybe 150 psi or more pressure in the boiler.
Here Colin practices the glass-changing routine, overseen by Simon of the full-time shed staff, on LMS '8F' no. 48305 which was undergoing a boiler washout.
