99 7239-9 simmers over the pit near the turntable at Wernigerode depot on the Harzquerbahn.

Electric locomotives in the semi roundhouse at the Anshan steelworks. these were manufactured either at Hennigsdorf in East Germany or the Skoda works in Czechoslovakia. The larger locomotives were used to move trains of iron ore from the opencast mines some distance away. whilst the rest were to be found in the mines and around the steelworks. The electric system encircled the city of Anshan and until 1990 provided a local passenger service.

Turning a locomotive by hand isn't often seen these days so it was a pleasure to record the 4F being turned on the former Hawes Junction table at Keighley.

Disused turntable at the Burra station on the former line from Adelaide. Rail services to Burra discontinued in 1985 and the line closed in 1988, although the rails remain in situ. The grain silos in the background remain in use with road transport.

Harbin depot was very busy in 1992 with a steady stream of locomotives being serviced or moving onto the turntable. The large semi-roundhouse was filled with locomotives under maintenance. Today the site lies under a concrete road viaduct.

Guided by a flagman, QJ 680 backs onto the turntable at Suihua depot well north of Harbin. This was a very busy locomotive changing station and the turntable was in continuous use, often with a queue waiting.

Two 0-6-0 locomotives by the turntable at the Resavica colliery in Serbia.

JS 5173 leaves the turntable at Hailar semi-roundhouse and heads for its duties as one of station pilots.

Action around the turntable in 1992 at Harbin depot, Chinese National Railways. This has all been swept away and now much of the site lies under a road viaduct.

Wagon turntable at Duke Street Wharf, West Float, Birkenhead. I think it's a long time since this was last used.

Preparations for the 'End of Southern Steam' weekend on the Swanage Railway with the M7 tank undergoing a steam test. The shed area at Swanage is a wonderfully atmospheric place.
