Being a Twickenham resident, Horace, it riles me to see this shot as I often hear the steamers going through but have never managed to see any, let alone take any snaps. Getting to Canterbury from Twickenham takes a bit of thinking about !
Good to know you are still analogue Wink

Clive,most don't go this route usually via Hounslow branch.On this occasion it actually stopped at Twickers to pick up passengers.As I say,rather late running because of 'over-heating',but it got there.
Actually you can get anywhere in England from Twickers if National Rail opened up the lines-the secret,like this train,it branches off a Clapham Jnc.where a series of points lead everywhere in G.B.
This is how we got the freight around the country during the last war,especially out of Feltham marshalling yard...all that track is still there at Clapham.And in jolly good nick I might add.

Just cannot be bothered with 'Digital' when I can get superior results with the cameras I've got-besides I want to see the negs on the light box and feel the film in the hand.At least I know film lasts for over 50-years judging by my collection.

Regards,
H.
