Trainspotting

Another great invention of the British Industrial Revolution was the steam locomotive: it’s power to connect and move materials, goods and people about the country. Here’s an early century photo of a train hauling some freshly manufactured Triumph outfits. This is a 0-6-0 Midland Johnson engine. One of the most widely made utility beasts of the late 19th -20th C. The last of these used into the 60’s; however none remain. Nevertheless British engineering at its best!
