One for the steam railway enthusiasts. I'm still scanning old photos and in this article we're back to black and white and a day out to the excellent steam railway museum at Carnforth just north of Lancaster and Morecambe. Lots of photos and little text (stop that cheering!) because I'm no expert about railway stuff. The date was Wednesday 25 February 1981. Enjoy, but just as a reminder please read the copyright notice in the left hand column.
There were a number of famous locomotives housed at Carnforth including Sir Nigel Gresley (above), The Flying Sctotsman, Lord Nelson and a locomotive that some twenty years later would be painted red and pull the Hogwarts Express...
On a Wednesday in February there are no engines to be found working. We wandered round the engine sheds, almost without seeing anyone else!
The collection had locomotives in all conditions but not much room to step back to admire them!
A nice reminder of a day over 35 years ago to look at machines from 70 or more years ago!
