An 0-6-0 diesel built by the Yorkshire Engine Co of Meadowhall in
Sheffield. Does anyone know what this design of locomotive was called, the
works number of this example or which customer it was built for?
Mystery Photograph - S
A short narrow gauge railway serving a wood preserving chamber.
It is understood that the wood was treated by taking the train into the
chamber, sealing it in, pumping the air out and injecting preservative
into the chamber under pressure. The location is Barry Docks in
South Wales and the year was 1986.. Perhaps someone can confirm how
such wood preserving chambers were operated and state what company
operated this
example?

This bolster wagon was photographed in 1985 at the Hallamshire Railway
Preservation Society at Penistone. It carries the lettering
"No.1" and "NCL Ltd". Can anyone identify this wagon
design as coming from a particular railway company or explain what the
initials "NCL" stood for?
Mystery Photograph - Q
A railway bridge over a waterway circa 1837. This is one of the
excellent J G Bourne lithograph prints that documented the building of the
London & Birmingham Railway. The location is thought to be
between Watford and Berkhamstead and the waterway is believed to be the
Grand Union Canal. Can anyone confirm the bridge's location and
state whether or not it still exists? There are more images
on the London &
Birmingham Railway pages.

This BR Standard 2-6-4T steam locomotive was in Woodham's scrapyard at
Barry in South Wales on 23rd April 1987. The writing on the cylinder
casting says "Brighton Loco Works" and quotes a telephone
number. Can anyone please identify the locomotive?
Feedback Regarding Photograph - P
It looks like 80072.
Mystery Photograph - O
This strange pair of standard gauge wagons each have buffers at one end
only, so presumably they worked as a pair with the load carried between
them. They were photographed in preservation on the Gloucestershire
& Warwickshire Railway on 9th May 1992. Does anyone know their
function and where they previously worked?
Feedback Regarding Photograph - O
The pair of twin vehicles look like those which were used to accompany
rail-mounted breakdown cranes. They were designed so as to be able have
some of the weight of the loaded crane transferred on to them during
lifting operations to reduce the axle-load (hence there only being buffers
at one end).

This was formerly a German wagon belonging to DB (Deutsche Bundesbahn).
Mystery Photograph - L
A non-rail item. This cart was on display in Reigate Caves with a
notice saying it was a meat cooler. Hopefully someone can explain
why meat needed cooling and what advantage this design had over any other
form of trolley.
Mystery Photograph - K
This is the Rail Album webmaster. The photograph was taken at the
Coney Beach Miniature Railway at Portcawl in mid-Glamorgan in the
mid-1950s. The locomotive carries the name "Silver
Jubilee". Does anyone know who built the locomotive and what
subsequently became of it?
Feedback Regarding Photograph - K
This does not answer the question, but it might be useful to add that the
locomotive was a 4-6-4 petrol electric with a steam outline
superstructure. It was built in 1935.
