Nice pictures - from the dress of the passengers waiting on the platform, it looks as though a troop-train is expected? BB

Thanks for your comment, BB. Much appreciated. Yes. It is 1914/19. Soldiers are waiting for a Troop Train. Britain were preparing for war as early as 1909; against an enemy from the east. In 1909 Ambulance Trains were being built. Military Manoeuvres were taking place on a regular basis for invasion by this 'Eastern Country'.

Is the smoke cotton wool?

Is the smoke cotton wool?

Sort of MG. A white fibre that has a touch of brown and and specks of black attached to the funnel.

I do things a little unorthodox.

All the little steam engines now have 'smoke'.

Here are the Calder Railway fleet.
