Hi Steve,

Thank you so much. I am sure you will recognise the Swedish (built by NOHAB, 1944) Stockholm Vasteras Bergslagens Railway 4-6-0 Class B No. 101. It was the end of the day, the sun was setting, and I was wondering round the yard looking for something creative.

I am happy that you have enjoyed it. There are a few more from the day around in my other galleries, (I know you have seen some already)

Best Wishes

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much! I am really pleased that you like the result. Sadly, this locomotive is in very bad shape, it has been standing neglected for a long time at the end of this siding.
The end of the day.. The end of the line... The end of ...... (anything else?)

Love Peter

But a very nice shot, Peter.

Thank you so much Andy.
I am pleased that you like it. Sadly there is no great use for these European locomotives in England, this is about the only railway which can take them. To repair and get a new boiler certificate, it would cost a lot of money, which could never be recouped through revenue earning service. Hence it is now just a museum piece.

Best Wishes

Thank you Erhard,

I am pleased that you have appreciated that I have avoided making it look derelict!

Let us hope for some more interesting ones next weekend!
