    Great selection again, Bill, and I love the steam. 611 looks positively magnificent in that view, perched almost precariously on the track.

    Nice choices. I wonder about the fate of that old passenger car.

    from the window arrangement of that abandoned passenger car, it looks as though it may have been a Pullman type car.

    Great shot of 611! Good to see her alive and well again. She didn't deserve to be "stuffed and mounted"!

    Bill, thank you for including the Earl Bathurst. Interesting side note, the "fireman" tending to the Earl's water needs is actually the engine driver's wife. The Didcot Railway Center Museum in England is staffed mostly by volunteers.

    Thanks, Will, and once again, very nice selections. Good one of the Brit steam, Hank. 611 is rolling, and through some curve with a lot of superelevation. Good job all of you.
