Come on #BlueSky people, let's have more praise for #SteamTrainDiaries and the #NYMR ! If you're a #SteamGeek or just a Heritage #Railway enthusiast, this is TV you shouldn't miss. There's even a glimpse of a #diesel locomotive or two for those that way inclined!

Time for a post from Malcolm Root's "Pageant of Transport", this time another wintery scene with 'Royal Scot' in LMS livery climbing to Ais Gill Summit, Cumbria. Reminds us of times when loco crews really needed a good fire to hand! ⛄🔥⛄

I can't let the day go by without posting a bit of Malcolm Root steam. It's the early 1950s and 'Duchess of Sutherland' attacks the gradient at Greenholme, Cumbria on the way to the Shap summit. Just captures the winter bleakness perfectly.

Late 1940s Chelmsford. A steam loco in green LNER livery crosses the road bridge next to the station. A green Eastern National single deck Dennis Ace bus has just passed underneath, followed by a blue Leyland Beaver truck carrying a tarpaulin-covered cargo.

Anyone familiar with Chelmsford will recognise this largely unchanged view by the immensely talented Malcolm Root (reproduced here from his book "Pageant of Transport"). The Harwich boat train 'Naworth Castle' passes through Chelmsford Station.
