I think I know six ... and I look at picture "M" and wonder if I should ask if I may edit a copy for a "spot the difference" quiz over the next week or so. Love all the stuff - feel I should know where it is, but can't place it yet. Going to be "duh - of COURSE" when someone identifies it, I'm sure! |

A: Isle of Man - childhood holiday destination. 1: Isle of Man Railway terminus at Douglas, 2: Snaefell summit - Snaelfell Mountain Railway, 3: Peel - Manx Heritage Transport Museum near site of old station, and 4: Laxey on the Laxey Mines Railway showing tunnel under Douglas - Ramsey road. Just spotted that No. 1 is our family engine as well - always our favourite. BTW▸ , the Manx might object to being included in GB▸ !  |

C yes
M yes, a fascinating place, and yes Grahame, please use as you wish, I may have other similar ones
A yes, all 4, unfortunately the museum at Peel was closed on that day, but we did have good walk from Douglas for a couple of km along the route to St Johns/Peel. 5 day pass for all transport and museums on the island very good value was about 6 years ago. Also interesting route by plane from Gloucester!
E yes, well done. it was a coincidence, in evening after seeing the work on Russell in the workshops on WHHR, we walked down the route of the line where a loco was being offloaded.
I'm impressed by all the identifications, particularly of E and M.

"J" is a Sittingbourne and Kemsley locomotive but NOT on the Sittingbourne and Kemsley - I am guessing that the picture might be Alston.
I remember giving a C Shell course for Shell at Sittingbourne, and finding it a bit of an unfortunate tongue twister. The Sittingbourne and Kemsey is a line I really want to get back to some year soon ... when we can travel again. And - looking forward - heard this morning of the first of our rail friends being invited in for his Coronavirus vaccination first shot ... first steps towards being able to perhaps travel next summer and see these places again.

J Yes, at Alston station. I can't confirm where the loco is from so I take it that you are correct with a Sittingbourne loco

N - Yes, Bennerley, near Nottingham. Amazing viaduct, worth a look if you are in the area. Didn't get taken down due to the metalwork being incompatible with torch cutting.
Now part of a possible predestrian/cycle route.

Thanks ... further follow up (I have egg on my face) suggests this loco did not come from / run at Sittingbourne; a reasonable well spread industrial style / design, I suspect; the link to Kent being just through a reminder of trips in my use to the newly started heritage passenger operation there. |
