Evocative photos, but hardly topical. The Colin Garratt photo showing (inter alia) the S160 at Thessalonika was taken in 1982 according to Flickr, so is 31 years out of date. Sadly, with the recent demand for scrap metal in Greece, I doubt that any of the locos are there now.

There was at least 5 remaining there in 2009. I can't find any more recent referances to them though.
Its good to know where you stand. Saves making a fool of yourself later......

The Maunsell Forts remind me of the Marsians in War of the Worlds.
