The LNER Encyclopedia

Just received a link from a friend in the UK with a whole schwack of photos taken in 1960 by a group of German enthusiasts who 'did' Britain's railways - and very good photos they are.

There's a lot of text, all in German of course, so if you understand the language no doubt you'll enjoy the site even more.

That link doesn't work as posted, but this one should: http://www.bundesbahnzeit.de/page.php?i ... 17_England. Well worth a look - thank you for posting it.

Edited to add that I am intrigued to note that in June 1960 they photographed a condensing pannier still bearing a 'shirtbutton' GWR monogram, twelve years after that railway ceased to exist.

Thanks, John, for fixing that link - looks like I missed the underscore. I received that link on Safari and, with my (non)level of computer skill, I didn't know how to link it directly to the forum, which is in Chrome on my laptop. Cheers.
