Steam Loco Beside Brunel Train Shed, Bristol, UK

[Tom Baldwin]

Does anyone know what this is? The shadow of the chimney is inconsistent with a UK loco...

Tom, It certainly is

Rhodesian Railways 4-8-0 no.390 was bought to the UK by David Shepherd and was based at Whipsanade Zoo for a while, before coming to the ESR. As the engine is metre guage, a section of special track had to be provided. The engine is now an outside exhibit at the British Empire & Comonwealth Museum in Bristol.

Thanks for that!

No problem Tom, nice to have been of assistance ;)

Hi,
Parked in that car park just a few weeks ago and didn't notice the loco. Perhaps it's been moved again.

I've already uped many of my favs to EarthSpots.com (http://www.earthspots.com/). There they have links and images for Camp David, Area 51 and a bunch of other spots saved in its location DB. Their forum is empty, though. :crysmilie

One of my personal favs is the Oil Fires in Southern Iraq. Check out a few:
