Sierra Leone ~for the rail enthusiast.
Rodney
The postcard refers to British Railways ( ex-LMS ) "Jubilee" class 4-6-0 no 45627 Sierra Leone ( class built from 1934 onwards ). Giving my age away, I remember as a teenager seeing these locomotives in revenue service on the Liverpool-Newcastle expresses near my home in Yorkshire. The first locomotive was named "Silver Jubilee" to commemorate the event ( in 1935 ) and the following few were named after Colonies and Dominions until the names ran out, famous Naval Officers, battles and warships followed. FYI 45563 Australia 45564 New South Wales 45565 Victoria 45566 Queensland 45567 South Australia 45568 Western Australia 45569 Tasmania Full of useless information aren't I ? Malcolm |

Sierra Leone ~for the rail enthusiast.
G'day all,
not useless information, Malcolm, right you be, how could have that been Sierra Leone? It was narrow guage, I posted the incorrect link, I'll return later with the adjacent postcard, the rolling stock in SL had "window shades" ? I can see some latent "railway fanciers" on this NG, I picked this book up for $1 at a car boot sale, but confess I have yet to open it . http://cjoint.com/data/jyaLWnMF2M.htm wrote in message ...

Hah! don't you even suggest that Blair, you Heliogabalus! Forsooth, 'tis Travancore alone, that hath won my passion, bucolic, yes, but unlike the soporific rail roadies, at least hath some semblance of a beginning and an end. Here, take this "railroad" and begone with you http://cjoint.com/data/jye3ANHKU3.htm (Hejaz, stucco work over entrance to Cairo railway station) Pshaw! "Blair" Ahah! lads, he is hooked. I started innocently too, and my railway cover side collection is just nearing one thousand covers now. Blair |

This is outrageous! what were they thinking? (with a name like "impregnable" one can only guess what they did with their spare time) What's more, I don't see a 'Barwani' in that list either.
