For Train Thursday, let's try something different. Here are some of my favourite steam engines ever! If you see this, what are your favourites? I'd love to see!

LSWR T3 563, my favourite engine ever. This photo was taken at the Watercress Line's Ropley station.

SECR O Class No. 65 at the Bluebell Railway's Horsted Keynes station. This is my second favourite engine!

Another Bluebell resident, 32424 Beachy Head. My third favourite engine!

Probably one of my greatest train photos. Meet Talyllyn, the number one engine at the Talyllyn Railway. With Nicholas Cage's face. Beautiful.

Arcade & Attica #18 was the very first steam locomotive I saw in person. The New York Central Hudsons were perfection. The BR Standard 5 was my second live steam model and the P8 is a classic.
