"The Seaside Flyer" was on a special one day excursion, bringing visitors from Birmingham to North Wales. The destination was Llandudno for our annual Air Show. Got this shot early evening on her return to Birmingham!!
Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
The National Trust, which runs the site as a museum, calls it "one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites, home to a complete industrial community". Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations.
The water-powered Georgian mill still produces cotton calico.
Sun Snow and Steam always deliver some of the the best shots. Here LMS Mogul 46521 in BR black puts on a fine display at Woodthorpe Loughborough. Unfortunately this location is now lost due a housing development, also GCR's ban on lineside photography.

TSS Duke of Lancaster is a former railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is beached at Llannerch-y-Mor Wharf near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, in north Wales. She replaced an earlier 3,600-ton ship of the same name operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway company between Heysham and Belfast.
Along with her sister ships the TSS Duke of Rothesay and the TSS Duke of Argyll, she was amongst the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways.
From the mid-1960s, passenger ships such as Duke of Lancaster were gradually being superseded by car ferries. Rather than undertake the expensive option of renewing their entire fleet, British Railways instead began a part-programme of conversion. In order to maintain ferry services whilst these modifications took place, Duke of Lancaster's duties as a cruise ship ceased.. On 25 April 1970 the ship returned to service, having had her main deck rebuilt to accommodate vehicles via a rear door at her stern. The ship now provided space for 1,200 single-class passengers and 105 cars, with a total cabin accommodation for 400 passengers

Probably without knowing, the driver shuts off the drain cocks at the optimum time to show 7802 Bradley Manor merging out of the steam.
This 5 horse power steam traction engine is still in fine working condition. It was made in 1912 at the Lincolnshire, England factory.

The bridge raising relied on steam up until the change to electricity in 1976.
Construction of the bridge was from 1886 until its opening in June 1894.
Meet "Susie". This Aveling & Porter Steamroller was built in 1928 and has a six horsepower engine. It was used in road building by the Fingal Council in Tasmania before being sold in 1957. It was fully restored in 1980 by Eric Howe, and its current livery comes from owners Terry and Sue Dooley who bought it in 2009. It just goes to show that you need devoted collectors to keep these machines in perfect working order.
Nowadays we take it for granted that when we turn on the tap, out comes quality water.
But how is it moved around? The answer is in pipes, propelled with the help of high pressure pumps.
But in the 1900s much reliance was given to steam power to lift water from deep wells into treatment works. Then the clean water needs to be pumped to local reservoirs built on high-ground for distribution by gravity to homes and businesses.
Giants of Brede
In the 1960s, many of our Victorian and Edwardian engineering masterpieces were demolished, but some survived, such as the Giants of Brede steam pumping engines.
Just six miles from Hastings stands the Brede Waterworks site, where two of its original triple expansion steam engines are housed in Grade II listed buildings.
At Brede you will see several 'period' examples of British engineering being renovated to impressive high standards.
First there is a 410hp triple expansion steam pumping engine built by Tangyes of Birmingham in 1904 and restored to original colours for its centenary.
It is housed in the original waterworks building built by the Hastings Corporation Water Department.
Secondly, there is another engine to a more modern design, installed in 1940 despite the start of World War Two.
Numbered 5058, researchers have confirmed it to be the last of its type supplied by Worthington Simpson of Newark and its 420hp is capable of pumping 3.5 million gallons per day against a lift of 515ft into the service reservoirs at Fairlight and Baldslow.
Thirdly, a range of water artefacts from an earlier collection kept by Folkestone and Dover Water Services is displayed in the old boiler house.
A noteworthy exhibit is the first triple expansion horizontal steam pumping engine made by the Simpsons in 1889. All the engines are currently being run by compressed air but will in due course be operated by steam.
In its heyday 33 men were employed at the waterworks. Many lived locally and there is a fascinating social history story still to be researched.

Um Lz-Fahrten einzusparen, wurde nach einer Fotozugveranstaltung auf der Sauschwänzlebahn am Morgen des 27. Mai 2023 die Rücküberführung des DBK-Fotogüterzuges mit 50 2988, 23 058 und 64 419 ab Fützen bespannt. Als Wagenlok lief auch noch 212 084 im Zugverband mit. Die 50 und der letzte Wagen verließen dann kurze Zeit später in Zollhaus-Blumberg den Zug, die anderen Fahrzeuge fuhren nach Crailsheim weiter, in dessen Bw damals auch alle zu sehenden Loks beheimatet waren!

A class Hr1 steam locomotive number 1009 has stopped on the rail line, because of malfunction. The locomotive has been plagued with problems which has slowed its return journey to Kouvola. At least it is fine sight for a cold Finnish town, which shows that winter is near the corner.

This road steam locomotive is anything but little. It's a big black beast of a thing. It looks great and is very powerful for its age. It was made by the famous Yorkshire firm of John Fowler and Company, Leeds, England. The tyre rubber on the wheels is a modern innovation.

Tasmanian steam enthusiasts joined the party at Don River Railway to celebrate 50 years of the reopening of the vintage railway. These wonderful old steam tractors saw service well into the 1930s.
The colourful Robey road locomotive was built in 1928 and was used in road building in Tasmania during the 1930s.
LMS Class2 Ivatt 46443 opens up on the climb off Victoria Bridge towards Arley Station.
SVR bought 46443 in 1972, but announced in 1983 that the locomotive had been sold as part of the deal that would have brought 45690 Leander to the SVR, and would be leaving the following year. However in 1984 a fund was launched to ‘buy back’ the locomotive, during which time it gained the nickname ‘The Peoples Engine’, and 46443 never left the SVR. Unfortunately 46443 is now a on static display in the Engine House at Highley.
