60163 Tornado is a main-line steam locomotive built in Darlington, England. Completed in 2008, Tornado was the first such locomotive built in the United Kingdom since Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways, in 1960. Designed to meet modern safety and certification standards, Tornado runs on the UK rail network and on mainline-connected heritage railways. The locomotive is named after the Panavia Tornado military jet.

"The Southern Pacific Railroad only had one Camelback locomotive. It was number 2282 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1900 for is Sonora subsidiary in Mexico. This 4-6-0 was built specifically to burn inferior Arizona coal."

"My research indicates it is S-1-f class 2-8-2 559 built MLW 53929 1913. Re#3464. Retired 1961."
Gauge 1 Lego model of 1813 locomotive. The loco has been redesigned several times during its long work life from 1813 to 1862. The model shows the last form, which is on display in the London Science Museum, and of which there is a detailed, working replica from 1906 in the Deutsches Museum, Munich.
BR Standard 4 2-6-0 76017 recreates a 1950s scene as it pulls a short van train between Ropley and Medstead & Four Marks on the Mid-Hants Railway during a photo charter.
JS 8173 backs down to the loading point with empties. Maybe one of the injector water valves has been left open or the fireman is about to put the injector on. Note the icicles on the tender. And the 'disordered' pipework on the loco's boiler. :-)

In the 'right' BR livery, class A1 no. 60163 'Tornado' powers past Waitby on the climb up to Ais Gill. Having left Carlisle late and then dropped a few more minutes, the loco was by now clawing back time, and was going significantly more quickly than 'British India Line' which had preceded it - maybe a by-now-dry rail helped. It was very noticeable how different the two three-cylinder machines sound.

A quick grab with my phone during a brief visit to the shed. '8F' no. 48305 under Empress Road bridge before taking up its evening diner duty.

NER Q6 Class - 0-8-0 No. 2238 was introduced by Wilson Worsdell the first T class 0-8-0 on the North Eastern Railway in 1901, but Vincent Raven carried on the development of the T1 when he designed the superheated outside cylinder class T2 0-8-0s for handling the heavy goods trains of the North Eastern Railway. A total of 120 engines were built at the NER’s Darlington Works between 1913 and 1918. An engine was produced that could be driven all out - full regulator and full forward gear – for indefinite periods at anything up to mineral train speeds. In 1915 examples of the class had undergone dynamometer trials on 700 ton trains between Newport and Shildon, putting up some impressive performances and comparing very favourably with the then newly introduced electric locomotives working that line.

The first train to Saline arrived on July 4, 1870, and the engine likely looked like this.
On June 29, 2019 Saline will celebrate the 4th of July at the Depot Museum
BR 'Standard' class 5 (note the 34E shedplate - it was once a Neaden engine) drifts through Rothley station on the Sunday luncheon train. The 'signalman's agent' holds up the single line staff for the Rothley-Leicester North section and James, the 'third man'/trainee fireman, is leaning out of the cab ready to receive it.

It has stopped snowing and we are back on shed. Anthony has raked the fire and partially filled the boiler, and is about to empty the ashpan - with a long rake after thoroughly wetting the contents; it's a lousy job - no hopper ashpan on this one. I am about to empty the smokebox: the barrow is ready at the side and I, on my way back to the engine with a bucket, have paused to take a quick pic - because, even though this freight loco is a bit of a rough old girl, she looks pretty nice standing there under the shed lights.

Today she is at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Note the temporary trestle and the shape of the hole in the building.
A mechanical lubricator. I guess it worked OK despite the grime - a combination of fine coal dust and oil.

Leaving Salta, Argentina for the climb to the Chilean border via Ramal C14, the northern "Transadino", and one of the world's great mountain railways. These meter gauged Skoda 2-10-2's were my favorite Argenitine engines. More pictures of this incredible line can be found on my website here: www.lifewastedchasingtrains.com/main.php?g2_itemId=3363
