The Mallets of Vivarais

James Waite writes:

"Here are some pictures I have of the Vivarais Mallets working in 1991 during a visit in passing with only print film in the camera. First 414 in light steam at Tournon shed as spare loco and then 404 at Lamastre, waiting to take the daily train back down the line. The final picture is also at Tournon, with 415 in the foreground and 403 and their bicabine loco to the left."

Both James and I would welcome a set of nice pictures of the Mallets along the line, it is full of character and there are some wonderful spots.
