What a great picture of this old tank engine, it puts me in mind of Thomas the Tank engine.

Ah Trixie, you see the problems we have when photographing engines...the highlights always threatening to blow and the shadows disappearing into deep Stygian gloom. I do like these 0-3-0 industrial tanks. They're even better when restored and in steam!
Best wishes,

Andrew

That's never beyond repair Trixie!
0-3-0 Andrew? That's French! I'll stick to 0-6-0!

You didn't see it!!! The other side was missing, maybe someone could nurse it back to health. Thanks guys for your time and comments. Cheers Trixie
