Thanks Charles. Yeah, such an iconic part of trains and yet, within a few years nobody will know what they are or what they were for.

This is the 'Scarlet Lady' saloon car at Pioneertown, Ca. It was burnt out in a fire a few years ago and the shell is all that remains.

These were taken at the weekend at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough (UK) heritage railway, it was their gala day, it is only small railway but it is local.

A view of the platform between trains (note this was all rebuilt by the volunteers)




Ready to start the engine is GWR No12 a Sentinel engine built in 1925
