    Thats an original section of cast iron pipe from the atmospheric railway system trialled in the UK, almost the same as the Kingstown - Dalkey atmospheric railway

    Someone has been to Didcot ;)

    The cylinders are the new build County?

    18000 was a SLM Brown-Boveri gas turbine loco (aka Kerosene Castle)

    The carriage is a new steam railmotor, think the only original bit is the underframe? It's just been passed for mainline use under strict conditions.

    As goingnowhere says, they are atmospheric pipes from the South Devon Railway

    Could be passing that way in 10 days, may pay a revisit, been a few years since last one.

    well worth popping in,A lot of change since last year.7202 2-8-2t seems very advanced and The Saint is too. the cylinders are 4079 penndennis Catle (county is two cylinder of course....) otherwise you were spot on
