We can't get physically far because the train is on the Isle of Wight, but we can travel quite a long ways back in time.
[A long line of images, but it is about a train after all. Enjoy the ride.]

Ah, a missing part:
Getting there:
Maybe over there:
This one looks ready to go:
It's got a nice set of wheels:

In case they want to turn back?
Travel is always better coupled:
Yup, British Railways:
This way or that?
Finally! This one's ours:
All aboard!
First Class door handle - and windows that open!
First Class upholstry:
Track side fire - supposedly put out before we got there, but...
it was still smoking so the Engineer got extra duty!
Sit back and relax...
And away we go! Isle of Wight - Train Travel Video

hi Laura
have a nice summer time
raingirl replied to Annemarie:
I am enjoying the summer. A bit warmer than I usually like, but we have had days of respite, so I'm not complaining.
I hope your summer is going well.
peace.

Do you have a photo of the loco?
raingirl replied to GrahamH:
This first one is from the board at the train station:
and this one of our engine disengaged from our cars, moving to the other end of the train to take us back from whence we came!
