Ashley 288 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Remember the English Electric 4-6-0 Gas Turbine Locomotive GT3. e Yes indeed, never saw it in the flesh but once a film of such, interesting sound! also liked the styling, could have put up with diesels if all like that! looks like quorn? but guess any country station on the former GC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RGR 218 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I think it is Ashby Magna Station,only saw GT3 once at the Brush Works Loughborough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twroberts27 0 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 We have a daily train from here in Williams to the Grand Canyon. When it first was revived in '89, it was a steam engine daily, but over the years they've gradually gone to deisel, but on high days and holidays they put the steam engine back on. I love to hear it as it pulls out the station. I was going to post a photo taken in March 2010 of the train (sadly diesel not steam) at the Grand Canyon end of the line but failed as 'the attachment was too big'. Loved our trip to Arizona, fantastic variety of scenery (plus baseball spring training). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm not surprised the Reverend Awdry wrote all those Children's Books when I look at all the wonderful photographs of steam engines, locomotives on here. :smile: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Nigel Gresley is a magnicent sight but you can't help wonder about the backward mentality of the British rail industry that it should introduce an essentially 19th Century piece of technology in 1937.
