Two shots from the return trip of the Welsh Marches Express, in windy and rapidly changing weather conditions - there was even a hail storm at one point in the afternoon. Farm Lane at All Stretton and Stokesay. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I was in the area a few weekends ago and had a good nose about, there’s a lot going on at chirk I noticed so thought I would drop some images from their page for those who wish to avail themselves. Quite an exciting little railway: The pile of...

Those 25NC were wonderful Cape Gauge (3 ft 6 inch) mixed traffic 4-8-4s. Below is 3467 on the 21 coach up Oranje Express on 12 July 1991. Some years after the train was dieselised, but returned to steam sometimes towards the end as part of the...

There are some lovely images on this thread. I wonder what the late member from Hayling Island would have made of all that black smoke.

25NC 3441 blasting up the grades near Perdevlei, between De Aar and the summit at Behrshoek on 28 July 1991. Not that long after a freezing dawn in the wonderful Karoo region. A frame grabbed from a low res MPEG4 digitisation of a Hi-8 camera...

I did quite a lot of my photography, and later on my filming, in winter pre-dawns in the Northern Karoo. Fabulous low light with a variety of sky colours as they developed before sun rise, to some extent depending on where distant winds had...

A combination of Karoo photos and me taking still images from a just digitised Hi-8 camera video tape. Those images below are in July 1991 when I was using a Sony 3 CCD pro camera. It's a very rough draft of a page for my eventual SA steam loco...

This was probably my fav shot - I was using Kodachrome 64 iirc with a 200mm lens, so all my stuff is pretty ropey ... I'd already had a go at editing it Windows Gallery years ago, but this is after letting ChatGPT have a go, and it's another step...

I managed to find one of my albums. These are the 'least worst' of my efforts with my Russian Zorki 4 camera. I can still feel the vibrations and heat as these babies thumped passed. Also a view inside the works at Capetown [ATTACH]

Those fences were formidable but no problem for a springbok. Those beasts can sure jump. Did a couple of steam safaris and took strips of carpet to drape over the top strand to avoid leaving one’s “meat and two veg” behind.

I was trying to remember the name of the place I stayed, but after so many years and travelling so much my mind drew a blank. I used to visit the diamond mine for work and would stay for the week as we worked on the special trucks they had...
