Sheff vond 35B's post leuk in het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

Sheff vond Drewry Car's post leuk in het topic Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

Sheff vond The Gricing Owl's post leuk in het topic Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Wonderful to hear your Karoo experiences. The 25 you heard in 1986 would have been 3511, the sole operational surviving condensing lok by then and a heritage loco by then too based at Beaconsfield loco shed, Kimberley. The shed would sometimes...
