Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Day!  We’ll start today with some ghosts of Christmas past…

Brighton in 1906….

Eastbourne in 1905….

And the classic shot of the works Terrier at Brighton (photo Charlie Verrall)….

Petersfield in 1898….

And St Denys in the same era….

Moving into the Southern era, a lovely Adams Radial tank in 1936….

And Botley in 1928 – note the most impressive signal!

And an O2 at Nine Elms (photo Robert Mack)….

Two ‘N’ class moguls, 1825 and 1831….

And into BR days, an M7 in 1952, still in malachite green….

And a N15 leaves Bromley South in 1959.  (Photo Paul Jay.)

And finally, Guildford in 1958.  A real modellers picture this, with 700 and Q1 class 0-6-0’s and a 4COR emu in the smart Southern railway concrete platforms.
