Gah, I should have recognised the Beyer-Garratt!  Now if AndrewF were here,
we could reminisce about his birthplace and I could about my schooldays,
each not a million miles from the Beyer Peacock works, and he might also
recall posting this beauty:

Fine, fine - "bits a locomotives" then...

More specifically, the shot of the locomotive front peeking out of the shed
is a South African Railways class 19D (4-8-2) and the one inside the shed
(me next to the locomotive) is a gigantic Beyer-Garratt articulated engine,
class GMAM (4-8-2 + 2-8-4) which used to run in that area from time to time
until about ten years ago.

Happy? :-)
