This is an unidentified locomotive - probably a saddle tank. {I will enquire about the ID next time I'm over here}.

A very simplified replica of "Locomotion" and no, I don't think the original had a seat for the "driver"

Some info on Derwent's history ... [tbh, this plaque should be mounted on a stand, nearer to a visitor's eye level] . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derwent_(locomotive)

"Derwent" built in 1845 by Timothy Hackworth, an original Stockton & Darlington Railway locomotive. Fireman works on the nearer footplate and the driver at the far end [on the footplate just beyond the cylinders]. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derwent_(locomotive)

60532 stands ready at Kidderminster Town, Severn Valley Railway after a 22-year hiatus, since she last steamed at the North York Moors Railway. Something of a surprise to me as the SVR wasn't operating service trains at the time. . further info ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Peppercorn_Class_A2_60532_Blue_Peter

The unique steam locomotive "Fire Queen" built in 1848 by Horlocks for the 4ft gauge Padarn Railway. Pictured outside her shed at Llanberis. [date ??? - possibly 10 Dec 1969 - but that bit of track looks very temporary]. Her "twin" the Jenny Lind was scrapped. Moved from the National Trust's Penrhyn Castle railway museum to the Vale of Rheidol's museum at Aberystwyth in early 2024. . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Queen . www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/29/Fire_Queen.htm not my image : fair use & public information

Cawfields Quarry loco at Town Foot, about where Potts Plant Hire is now [date of image - not known] The CQR was laid in 1905, and had several steam and IC locomotives. . The loco was built in 1902 by Kerr Stuart for work on the construction of the dam at Lake Vyrnwy in Wales, and is named after the reservoir. ["Sidar" class, 0-4-0 T, works no 748 of 1902] {only problem with that date is Lake Vyrnwy was built in the 1880s} Apparently the local name for her was "The Varney" ... suspected scrapped in the 1930s after developing problems with her firebox. There is a very similar loco "Diana" at Threkeld Mining Museum in the Lake District. Not my Image : fair use & public information

One of MER 23's cab roof mounted nameplates. MER Locomotive No.23 was originally built in 1900 by the "Isle of Man Tramways & Electric Power Co.Ltd.", and subsequently rebuilt with waggon bodies. It was restored in 1983, named "Dr R.Preston Hendry" in 1993 but withdrawn in 1994 and stored, initially off-site [it was in Laxey Shed in August 2023]. It currently carries names plates on the cab roof, and is painted in the freight grey & green livery of the IoMT&EPCo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Electric_Locomotive_23

No23, up on blocks - I was told where the bogies had gone.

Kerr Stuart No. 4221 "Rom River" [built 1929] which has recently returned from a trip to the Middleton Railway, Leeds, which was belatedly celebrating the 90th birthday of Hunslet No. 7051 [built 1932] aka LMS 7051 "John Alcock"

15" gauge new build steam locomotive under construction in 2022 by North Bay Railway Engineering Services, Darlington.

D-1087 "Meirionydd" is a Bo-Bo diesel-hydrostatic double-cabbed locomotive based on the outline of a "Western" standard gauge engine [Class 52 - diesel-hydraulic]. It was constructed in 1973 for the BLR by Severn-Lamb.

Not quite the best position for me ! The Talyllyn Railway's No.2 "Dolgoch" was built in 1866 by Fletcher Jennings at Lowca, Nr Whitehaven [Cumbria]. I believe that this locomotive has some unusual features, especially in the motion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolgoch_(locomotive)

Image [scanned ] of K1 taken in April 1966 by T Dorrity. The locomotive was moved to more protected storage by 1967. The sea is a matter of a few feet behind the photographer, and at the time there was no shelter from the on-shore winds and weather. Some of the story of how K1 came to be here, and what has happened since can be found here .. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Government_Railways_K_class addendum - K1 has since been in steam and working at Statfold Barn (in 2020)... I hope that she will make a number of trips back to the FR after the Covid Pandemic, although her dimensions keep her to the WHR. I had a trip behind her & the youngest Garratt a few years ago, the FR portion of that particular special train was behind "the old gent" aka Prince and DLG aka David Lloyd George (the soup dragon).

The Hawthorn Leslie saddle tank Locomotive "Edward VII" is seen here with one of the two guard's / tool vans.

1950s image of the Titan crane on the North Breakwater, delivering blocks for the divers to deal with. The group of divers are in light coloured clothes. it looks like at least one block is already underwater, another is on the crane whilst the last waits on the waggon, there are three waggons in the short train, propelled by the loco "Prince of Wales".
