"Garry Bridge"

I used to spend hours on Newton Bridge or "Garry Bridge" as we called it as you had to drive through the Garringtons engineering works to get to it. We used to place 2p coins on the track for the 37 bankers to roll over, they used to end up three times the size and wafer thin! we'd end up getting arrested for that these days!!

Peak at New Street (45120)

Memories of Staurday afternoons sat at the end of platform 1 on New Street in the 70's and 80's....

A few views of Worcester railway bridge over the Severn taken on 28th March 2010 when I was out on my bike. I like the curvature of the brick arch viaduct as it rounds the city into Foregate St station.

All rust and no prime

This is me inside the tubeless boiler of GWR 2-6-2 Prairie Tank engine no. 4141 at Hampton Loade in what is my best guess 1982, well before she was ready for running. Unfortunately I never got to see her in action when in ticket on the GCR but hopefully a new boiler cert in the future will secure me an opportunity for a reunion?? The timber blocks are wedged between the remaining boiler tubes to allow me just enough room to drop through the hole left by the earlier removed pressure dome!
