It is always a pleasure to see the Coal Tank on duty
The Bahamas Society did a magnificent job in getting
the engine back into steam
Thanks to the Heritage Lottery fund the engine
now has brand new cylinders
The blog of a retired marine engineer who is old enough to remember the steam era and the joys of holiday trips in trains hauled by steam engines.

9F 2-10-0 No 92203 'Black Prince'
On the North Norfolk Railway
Above at Holt station
Bellow at Sherringham
Awaiting the road
LNWR Coal Tank
About to bring a good train into Keighley station
I believe the Coal tank is the oldest engine with a
main line steam certificate but open to challenge
on that of anyone had knowledge of older engines
GWR Kinlet Hall No 4936
A little disappointed that Kinlet Hall could not
visit K&WVR this years due to being out of Gauge
for the journey North.
However I saw her at the West Somerset earlier this year
Gleaming in the sunshine she is a good reminder of
the warmer days to come in these December days
