Part of the large Doncaster Grammar School collection of railwayana, including numerous name and numberplates, is on display at the new museum/library opened on the corner of Waterdale & Chequer Road. Name & numberplates from steam locomotives representing all 4 of the post-Grouping railways are on the wall in the main hall.

On the Sunday morning of the 15th Dresden Steam Engine Festival two steam-hauled specials from Dresden to Freiberg ran in parallel from Tharandt southwest of Dresden. On the left is DR Class 41 2-8-2 41 1144-9 on the 09.29 passenger from Dresden Hauptbahnhof, running one hour late. On the right is Class 52 2-10-0 52 8154-8 on a goods train. This section is the beginning of the 1 in 40 climb to the south & both locos were working flat out.

The Sunset of Steam. Well no actually...just a normal sunset with steam! We had just returned light engine from Swithland on BR 9F 92214 and were standing in platform 2 at Loughborough waiting for the relief crew when the sky lit up.

I got to see sunrise & sunset on this Gala day turn. This was sunrise. Rory (taking photo) & I were prepping BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 92212 in road 3 on the left but as our first train wasn't until 10.30 we were last off shed. This gave us a grandstand view of the other 7 steam locos going off. Here, catching the morning sun, the steam from our engine merges with that of the two Class 2 2-6-0s, Standard 78018 & Ivatt 46521, plus by the water tank 73156 is adding its contribution.
