This fine postcard possibly shows 'HR' beside his Peerless railcar. No date or location although on the vertical right hand edge there is what I assume to be the photographer's studio where this was printed: 'A V( X? Y?) Carmoma. Saltillo' (Saltillo is just below Monterrey in Eastern Mexico)

Reverse of previous P/Card reads;'Rail car which I have driven over 30,000 miles. In previous car which I still have as a spare(?) car I drove just over 90,000 miles. HR'

'La Vesubie (France) looking towards Digne'. 5.9.1960

'Cassy halt (France) ligne de Facture a cures' 21.3.1961

France, but where?

'Station Hill, Bordon. Kingsway Real Photo Series'. This is in Hampshire

A closer look at b10071 reveals the open truck as LSWR and not SR as initially suspected. Probably standard gauge

A charming station scene in France? Switzerland? and so unlike modern stations which resemble shopping centres rather than railway stations

'S.F.G' on loco tank

Lillishall Hall in Shropshire 1928/1929. Baguely petrol loco No:1695 of 1928. Railway closed 1939. Loco preserved at Cadeby, now at Moseley Railway Trust, Staffordshire. Thanks to John Lucas for this info.

'MG' is the Montreux-Glion railway, an 800 mm. gauge rack railway that made an end-on connection with the Glion-Rochers de Naye line in south-west Switzerland. With thanks to Mike South in Calgary, Canada

LBSCR Terrier. At Brighton?

Easy one: Vale of Rheidol when BR used the 'lion & wheel' emblem and of course the loco is coal fired whereas today they are oil fired

GWR loco, looks like the valleys, not sure whereabouts...

Mystery solved: This is 'Pontaillac No4' an 0-4-2T built by Weidknecht in 1891 for the Tramways de Royan (France). 'Pontaillac' being named after the line's original terminus. Seen here being swarmed over by WW2 German troops. (See NGWorld #11 for more on this line)

WW2 German soldiers tucking into a field kitchen on a train. The wagon is stencilled 'Stuttgart' (W.Germany)

No details but that's an armoured Simplex on the left hand side, developed and used during WW1 and later on many small industrial railways in UK

Possibly an LBSCR E1 class loco, photo dated 4.5.46. Used as a homemade postcard and sent from one New-Yorker to another on 14th March 1966

The reverse of the last P/Card with a cheeky message:'Dear Bill, many thanks for your notes - to WoR & West Paterson. I complained to the AP about the derailment and they said you were full of ----! However(?) I told them you were a nice guy - not I replied(?) that you were full of ----!!'

Another LBSCR E1, another homemade P/Card, 'Redhill (Surrey) 1929 611 (111). 111 being the early LBSC number, later 611 and 2611 under the SR. Named 'Montpelier' Built March 1877 Removed from Capital Stock 1911 and lettered 'Loco. Dept. New Cross'. Returned to Capital Stock as Nš611 1922. Withdrawn May 1932

Pannier 8750

No details. Possibly during wartime as loco has all numbers & lettering scrubbed out and photographer is possibly hiding in lee of railway hut
