Pendennis Castle in the woods near Trimpley.
Pannier tank on local train.
The pannier approaching Highley - loco crew watching intently for signal to give access to station.
Ivatt Class 4 (known affectionately on the SVR as 'The Flying Pig') headed for Arley.
West Country Class 'Taw Valley' approaching Highley.  The colour scheme is Southern Railway wartime black.

Refilling the Ivatt Class 4's water tank at Bridgnorth.  The level is being watched intently - overfilling means getting an unscheduled shower.
The Flying Pig on shed at Bridgnorth and attracting a lot of attention.
Bridgnorth shed's Superintendent brings a barrow to start the disposal of Ivatt Class 4.  The engine has just been moved over the ash pits ready for the fire to be dropped.
