some time back and with his permission and encouragement they are reproduced

I would very much welcome contributions from other readers about their
travels for steam in the 'good old days', they can be text accounts, picture
essays or a combination as available. Please email me first before sending
any images to ensure that I am in a position to download them. However, as a
rule of thumb, any image which has a file size in excess of 500kb should be
resized, I can advise on how to do this if necessary.
