It's been a little while since I updated the "Walks with a Camera". It's not that we haven't been out and about - far from it. However, most expeditions in the last 12 months or so have been fairly short local wanders, which hardly seemed to deserve a page (perhaps, before too long, some "Shropshire Shorties"?)
Anyway, here's an account of a reasonable-length ramble to the top of Shropshire's highest hill - at 1772', surely it deserves a page of its own? Visit "Brown Clee and the Boyne" for the usual illustrated account.
...is at Blists Hill, site of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum's "Victorian Town". Opened on Monday 24th August, a 2' gauge "mine experience" railway now operates. Along with the newly-opened "incline lift", the regularly-steamed Trevithick replica and several static railway and plateway exhibits, the musuem is now of some rail significance... Visit "Ancient and modern at Blists Hill" on the "Rail Diaries" pages
Got to do these things in the right order... Have just uploaded "LNER (part1)" to the Kenneth Gray pages on "monorail". Once again, lots of LNER photos, so we start with the LNER-built examples, more-or-less...
There are hundreds of LMS images in Kenneth Gray's collection. Here's a selection of the various locomotives designed and/or built by the LMS (pre-grouping classes to follow...)

Of the "Big 4" railways, the Southern had the smallest steam fleet by far - but what variety!
Visit Page 5, just uploaded, of photographs from Kenneth Gray - "Southern", on the "monorail" pages.
