It's been a while since we published new pages on the Tracks through Grantham website. This is mainly because we've been fixing a performance issue with the site, which has been quite a challenge. We've also been carrying out some 'housekeeping' to check that external links, some created several years ago, continue to find their intended destination.
Today we are launching five series of photographs taken by Colin Walker when he travelled with the footplate crew on express locomotives. Pacifics of classes A3, A4 and A1 appear, along with a Deltic diesel electric. Locations range from Gas Works Tunnel, leading out of London King's Cross station, to Scrooby Water Troughs, north of Retford, and Doncaster station.
You can find the introduction page here. From it there are links to the groups of photographs taken on the five trips.
We're sure this latest group of pages has been worth waiting for. Comments will be very welcome – there is a box at the foot of each page.
Some of you may also receive this update in a direct email from Tracks through Grantham. This will be because you are both a Subscriber to our website and a direct email Contact for our project. Please bear with us on this because eliminating overlap between Subscribers and Contacts is much easier said than done.
