David Monkhouse Posted September 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) [attach]219083[/attach] [attach]219084[/attach] [attach]219085[/attach] [attach]219086[/attach] The above photographs are of Peak Rail's 0 6 0 locomotive "Royal Pioneer" which currently provides most of the daily steam traction. Below are photographs of the refurbished Rowsley Shed turntable which, when the link is made to the mainline at Matlock in 2011, will mean that visiting locomotives can be turned. A much sought after facility in these "cab at each end" days. So we can then expect to see all manner of steam traction passing through Matlock and Darley Dale. After all, the much visited Chatsworth House and gardens are not so far from the end of the line.

pauledell Posted September 2, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 2, 2010 David, A great series. I especially like the shots in the engine cab form the rich colors of the brass controls to the glowing firebox. These bring back memories of the 1950's when I got to set in a steam locomotive on the B&O railroad here in the USA. My dad was a track supervisor and let me come along. I was about 12 years old then. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2010 The first time I went to That London we caught a steam train at Didsbury (couple of stops out of Manchester Central) and went through the Peak District; lovely route; I spit on Beeching's grave. Super photos David. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Monkhouse Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted September 12, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Gentlemen, thank you for your kind comments, they are much appreciated. When I worked on the original I was struck by the amount of detail captured by the 35mm Summicron and M8 in what was, a very low light situation. Below is a very small part of the original shot which I hope illustrates the point I endeavour to make. [ATTACH]220967[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likalar Posted September 14, 2010 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2010 <<..... and went through the Peak District; lovely route; I spit on Beeching's grave. Excellent photos, David! I can't express how much I've enjoyed them. Pete's comment made me research Beeching, as I was not familiar with that name. Interesting history/story here: Richard Beeching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
