Pictures from a visit to the Locomotion museum, Shildon, in early February. (L) Timothy Hackworth’s Sans Pareil<\/em><\/a> locomotive participated in Rainhill Trails.

(R) This static picture does poor justice to Rowland Emett<\/a>‘s wonderfully whimsical moving sculpture, A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n
