Sandaoling Xinjiang China 16th November 2014

Ex-Chinese Railways JS 2-8-2 8173 curves out of the open cast pit at Sandaoling with its 13 wagon train of coal. I learnt recently that the last great steam show in the world is no more and all the coal from the pit is now transported to the washeries by truck. The end of an era

HFF Trewellard St Just Cornwall 3rd April 2022

Levant Mine and steam-driven Beam Engine at Trewellard, Pendeen near St Just in the far west of Cornwall. This historic tin mine is preserved by the National Trust and visits to see the engine and go underground are by appointment. Unfortunately we hadn't made one but the whole surface site was of interest including the lighthouse in the distance at Pendeen and the weather was perfect. HFF. Have a great & peaceful weekend.

Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 23rd October 2022

Morning has broken but there's not a lot of light to show for it on shed at Loughborough. The rain fell continuously as we prepped Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 but by this time we had about 90psi in the boiler and she was coming to life. Not so BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 alongside which was not in service on this day.
