    Very nice photo's, thanks. I do enjoy seeing 4-4-0 tender loco's, they seem to have a nice balance about them.

    The photo's and websites that I see make me aware just how many classes there were that I never saw or even knew of, being brought up in the Thames Valley area with just the occasional foray by train up to Yorkshire to stay with grandparents.
