On Monday (30/08/10) had a circular trip on the 10.25inch gauge Shibden Miniature Railway hauled by "Ivor". This is located in Shibden Park, Halifax.

Picture to follow.

Absolutely loads in the last week, I won't list them all but they include a few 158s, a couple of 175s, 3 67s, some HSTs and a 150. The very last one I travelled on was 150219 from Bath to Trowbridge on Wednesday.

I took a road trip from Houston to Toronto, on the way a side trip to the Cass Scenic Railroad

This is an old logging line with power exclusivly by geared steam locos, mostly Shay type.

Our train went from Cass to Bald Knob a ten mile trip with a 2200 foot elevation change. Gradients are as steep as 1 in 11 and include a zig-zag reversal deep in the woods

Below is a photo of Western Maryland No 6, this behemoth weighs 145 tons and has a vertical three cylinder engine working through gearing to 12 drivers on three bogies. Tractive effort through the gearing is 97539lbf.

Built in 1945 it only worked for 5 years before being withdrawn, it was the last Shay built and is the largest survivor
