Leo turns away as another shovelful of hot coals goes into the barrow for hosing down. A combination of clinker formation and coal that does not reduce to fine ash and fall through the firebars meant that no. 6412 finished the day with an uncomfortably large amount of fire left in the firebox. So Dave the fireman shovelled some out.
The photo shoot was over, the crew was getting ready to put the 1225 back into the house, but Pete Lerro had not yet turned the lights out. In a way I like this shot because of its imperfections, like not quite enough light on the drivers and the crew is just standing around talking, ignoring the camera. Cold, snow, mud, water puddles, drifting steam, the dark of night....kinda like maybe the way it really was in the bad old days. Even the digital noise in the dark areas is kinda like the grain of Tri-X film we might have been shooting back then.
River Mite is seen on the turntable at Dalegarth in May 1982. The background features some of the Lake District's highest fells.
Once I had made the acquaintance of Steam and Safaris, my next several trips were booked directly with them in the U.K. And I enjoyed traveling with their European and Aussie clients. The two Derek's (Jenkins and Phillips) were experienced China steam hands, and good photographers. Here it is just before sunrise, a dusting of snow covers the ground. When we saw the snow we rushed out of our hotel and headed for the pass. Just as the sun comes over the mountins, two QJ's are working hard before shutting off in the summit tunnel.

Heritage locomotive 3801 hauls #SS63, the "Brigadoon Highland Festival" special train in the wet.
This train ran between Sydney Central and the township of Bundanoon in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Robert Bell Steam engine at Stirling Agricultural Fair. I first thought that this was a tractor but it is actually a mobile steam traction engine that was used in summer to power threshing machines and in winter for traveling into the bush and providing power for saw mills. The wheel on the upper side is actually for attaching a pulley belt to power the saws. The engine is wood-fired.
Based upon the Case engine in this album, this is a steam tractor engine I created in LDD and built as a gift for my brother and eventually my brother.
Water columns were integral parts of the railway environment in steam days, and this one provides authenticy to this late afternoon scene at the beautifully preserved Western Maryland station in Cumberland.

Tasker Little Giant class steam tractor 1424 built in 1910 for Garside's for hauling sand from their pits to the mainline railway connection in Leighton Buzzard. The damage to local roads caused by this method of export directly lead to the construction of the Leighton Buzzard narrow gauge railway.
The engine, now named Wil O' the Wisp, attended the Bluebell Railway's Road meets Rail event here stoping near the road making demonstration area.

The Mount Lyell #1 built in 1896 by Dubbs & Co in Glasgow, was the first of the Abt-rack locomotives of the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co. It was used for hauling copper from Queenstown to Strahan across some very challenging terrain which required the rack for traction.

Steam locomotives at the Darjeeling train yard (India)
Those two locomotives (#788 "Tusker" and -#782 "Mountaineer") are warm and ready to work. One of them will be used to pull the next train, while a spare one is kept ready in case of last-minute problems with the main one. Because it takes hours to heat-up the steam boiler, the two steam engines must be warm and ready hours before the train is scheduled to leave. A railroad worker is staying up all night and feeding coal in their furnaces to keep both engines warm.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
