'Hermes' on a run144 viewsA generic Crampton based on one the NBR owned.
Even crawling along at 10mph; these Loco's and their train of 4 wheelers
hold the attention.meconicuk

Haymarket Station77 viewsBuilt in the early 1840's by the E&G the station is still in use today.
Judging by the expressions on the commuter's faces, this photo might have been
taken on a Monday morning.

The Double Crampton124 views'Castor & Pollux' in design stage with spare tender to carry water only.
The paint job was chosen because it was thought an experimental Loco'
would warrent something different from the standard NBR 'Green & Coal'
livery.
Alternate name's were 'Romulus & Remus' but I wanted to stick with the Greek
theme for names.meconicuk

Generic NBR Composite65 viewsThe first type of carriage for fleet.
Based on the 1846 S&D carriage.meconicuk

Norwegian Railways 2-4-081 viewsI think Stephensons of Newcastle built this to order in the 1850/60's for the new
Norwegian railways.
The lamp looks completely out of proportion with the Loco: something I'll try on
my own layout.meconicuk
