Isle of Wight, and the Lymington Branch........
25th October 2008 to 30th October 2008

A family break on the Isle of Wight, with a few trains photographed while we were there. However, I didn`t manage any photos for the first couple of days due to the bad weather! Also a few shots of the green slammer on the Lymington line as we made our way back home via the New Forest.

The Isle of Wight Steam railway is home to two lovely little terriers, and an 'O2' locomotive, but they are all currently out of service. On the 27th of October 2008, passenger duties were in the hands of saddle tank 'Waggoner' The ex War Department locomotive is passing Ashey Ground crossing as it makes it`s way to Smallbrook.

 Since my last visit to the Island, at least two of these ex-underground trains have lost their unique 'dinosaur' livery, and are now sporting 'London Transport' livery. Nothing against this, but perhaps not entirely suited to the units environment..... Anyway, this is 483004 which is photograpjhed on the approach to Ryde. 27th October 2008
