RLinkinS liked LMS2968's post in the thread GWR four-cylinder arrangement?.

RLinkinS liked Flying Phil's post in the thread 34039 Boscastle WC class.

RLinkinS liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Not my photo, but Sharpthorn going home after the High Weald steam rally. Since the location of this photo is Fletching, it looks like a slightly circuitous route was chosen - it's certainly not on the shortest route back! I think it is the same...
