Commission for @pikablob.bsky.social of Porterbrook No.4 "Teapot Anne," essentially an americanized Fowler 4F.

#Train #Trains #BritishRailways #Fowler4F #SteamEngine

Digital art painting of an extremely grimy and weathered steam locomotive, resembling a british Fowler 4F 0-6-0 with american features such as sand domes, a larger cab, a large headlamp, a switching pilot, and a cross compound air compressor.

Trying to discover where this could be? I found the negative in a 1940 copy of CS Lewis's The Problem Of Pain. Which I bought at a table sale in The Good Shepherd church Croxteth Liverpool even the cat is on the trail for clues... #cslewis #liverpool #oldphotos #britishrailways #1940s #catphoto

The photo developed by Max Spielman there is more detail to spot now, car registrations and pubs and the people at the waters edge is it Pier head?

Carina Sleekman the cat is not familiar with the scene but she is giving it her best try.

Spotted old #britishrailways Mark 1 coaches built in the 1950s I assume. Later saw the interior of the Mark 1 at #eastangliarailwaymuseum in Essex. Video & photos @worldreachcomms.bsky.social #ageofsteam

Did you know? 2025 marks 250 years since the birth of the modern railway, and the start of @railway200.bsky.social, a year-long nationwide celebration of rail’s remarkable past, present, and future.
