Gallery

  • Martello during a visit to the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (summer 2007). The engine is paired with carriages similar to those used on their initial trains through south London.

  • Stepney and Fenchurch on the Bluebell Railway (August 2007) showing the difference in size compared to the larger GWR Dukedog engine just visible to the right, as well as the different styled smokebox on Fenchurch which is closer to the original styling.

  • Fenchurch at the Bluebell Railway (April 2009) showing the intricate pipework along the boiler and the comparative size of the engine to the rolling stock, these wagons being of slightly later vintage to the locomotive.

  • Freshwater on a visit to the Bluebell Railway (November 2006). The engine has one of the extended "Isle of Wight" coal bunkers (used to increase coal capacity on the longer journeys), which finishes closer to the end of the frames.

  • Stepney on the Bluebell Railway (2003). This provides an example of the more classical layout of the bunker with a small toolbox located at the back and an increased height from the Isle of Wight bunkers.

Famous quotes containing the word gallery:

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
