Then to Kingswear in Devon to witness an excursion leaning for Paignton along the Dart Estury. Llangollen in May 1994 provided a beautiful setting in the early summer with engines of all shapes and sizes culminating in Pannier Tank 7754 watering up for a journey into the Welsh Countryside.

The Severn Valley Railway held its Autumn Gala in 24th & 25th September, where Stan captured images of a galaxy of giants of steam around Bewdley and Arley. Finally the Noth Yorkshire Railway provides a back drop for unique sequences of some of the UK’s mightiest restored engines. Engines featured include The Flying Scotsman, Ta Valley (Golden Arrow), Kind Edward 1st, Bradley Manor, Union of South Africa, plus many, many more.
