Transport of Delight

A miscellany of preserved locomotives

This gallery contains photographs I took of preserved locomotives
running on special trains, out at Open Days etc. and also includes
views at preservation sites where I did not take enough views to justify
a separate gallery.

As far as possible, they are shown in chronological order. Where a
locomotive is in an older livery, its last BR number is also shown
and diesels carrying 1957 D-series numbers have their later
TOPS number shown where applicable.

There are 31 photographs in this gallery.
