A very attractive image Roger. All the romance of the steam age with beautiful surroundings. Some great memories of steam train trips along this line - a Santa train ride with the grandson and a daughter more in awe of Santa than he was and an evening carol singing trip when a dog objected to our singing and howled until we gave up in fits of laughter. Memories!!
HFF and have a good weekend

GrahamH ^club

On the New South Wales Govt Railway in Australia which I grew up with turning tank into tender and tender into tank was a thing. The most numerous was a 4-6-4 tank from 1903 where after Sydney suburban electrification from the mid 1920s 77 of the 145 locos were converted to tender type known as the 30T. Some were superheated and had their smoke box extended. These became the mainstay of branchline locos until displaced by diseasals in the 1960s.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to GrahamH ^club

The conversion was frowned upon by railway preservation purists however it was a class on the drawing board when the building of steam locomotives ceased, It is a very popular engine with the staff has proved to be a good workhorse,
