Portrait of Steam

	Caledonian "439" class 0-4-4T no 55234 poses cheekily with BR 9F 92152 at Carlisle Kingmoor, 1 August 1959
	"Top Shed" - A3s and A4s nos. 60039 "Sandwich", 60010 "Dominion of Canada", 60033 "Seagull" and 60038 "Firdaussi" look fully fit for purpose, 4 October 1959
	Another Caley 0-4-4T, clearly at Ballachulish, probably late 1959 or early 1960
	B1 no 61140 is going well, at (I think) Inverkeithing
	Classic small British 0-6-0, beautifully proportioned J36 no. 65288 looks very well, I think at its home deport of Dunfermline (a Clayton diesel lurks; they didn't last quite as long as the 1888-designed locomotive...)
	LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T no 42086 and an unidentified "Black 5" at Birkenhead Woodside
	Caprotti-fitted Standard 5 no 73151 was a St Rollox engine - however, I'm led to believe that it's probably at Carstairs
	Polmadie-based 42058, another Fairburn tank, poses at Lanark station, in the days before the wires... (here's a more recent view)
	BR Standard class 4 2-6-0 no 76046 has ventured out to Renfrew, and has just passed the Simons-Lobnitz shipyard. Yoker power station, just across the Clyde, forms the backdrop
	Scot no. 46152 "The King's Dragoon Guardsman" poses at Carlisle

Robin only captioned the first two images. I've had to use some guesswork re. the location of the others, plus a degree of assistance (many thanks to all!) from site visitors. I'm pretty sure of most, but not all (65288...), and would appreciate confirmation and/or contradiction...
