Miff liked acorb's post in the thread MOSI to join NMSI.
Wasn't sure where to put this so resurrected this very old thread(!), but I found this very interesting - a proper marriage of 19th and 21st century technology! *ignore the thumbnail of IoM railway, that would be something!! [MEDIA]

Spamcan81 liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Belmont station - an Oasis in the Karoo. 25 July 1991 as 25NC 3488 heads north on train 2439, the 11.50 from De Aar. I think it is hauling a 40 wagon load of empties from a block coal train. Train 2439 was, for the loco, the return working off...

Miff liked 35B's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
