Some rather interesting big steam designs over there as well.
My sentimental favorite steam line runs to my hometown - or the closest thing I have to a hometown, given how much my family has moved around - in Devon: The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, which runs between Paignton and Kingswear, where we lived when I was young. It even has a Wkikpedia entry now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paignton_and_Dartmouth_Steam_Railway but better photos here: http://www.steampics.com/html/pdr.html I have a shot of one of the engines somewhere that I've posted on line a couple of times. I'll have to dig it up again. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
