Probably a Castle western class locomotive, all named after castles, beautiful engines, with a tapered boiler, and curved blast pipes, they were mainly seen on the west country runs, Devon an Cornwall. This is one came off Barry scrapyard, and was photographed on the East Lanc's railway at Bury.

Dad would have loved to see this!

That's why I posted it Judy.

Good photo-thanks for sharing

Thank you

Haven't been on it in years.   Might do that weekend after next.

As you know I love train pictures.  These are wonderful..  The detail is amazing.

Ya think it's a little warm in the boiler?  It shows on the fist picture.

The last three pictures are curtesy of Barbarian. to show that there are still steam loco's in action throughout the USA, I have a book I bought years ago called An American Journey By Rail, by Timothy Jacobson, and photographed by an English photographer living in the US called Dudley Witney, first published in 1988, beautiful book and photographs, if you can get hold of a copy, its well worth getting. I got my copy for £2 new out of a book returns shop, here in England. I'm going to see if its on the internet just out of curiosity, should be. By the way has anyone seen the book Manhatten Lightscape, Nathaniel Lieberman? All the pictures are of Manhatten after dark. That was a book I picked up in a second hand bookshop in a little place called Littleborough, I couldn't really afford it at the time but it was such a well produced book I bought it for its rarity, certainly in England. Again if you can get a copy, get it, its well worth picking up.

Thank you for that.
