Another lot of pics from me, this time from Southend Pier Railway:
1949 stock (3ft 6in gauge 3rd rail electric) Motor Flat Car no.8 converted in 1970 from a driving motor car and now preserved at Mangapps, Burnham on Crouch.
Southend Pier's stations are officially named, but don't carry nameboards! This is North Station at the shore end with both 1986 stock (3ft gauge diesel) trains.
The mid-point passing loop of this 1.38 mile long pier.
South Station at pier head in January 2006, following the October 2005 fire
1986 Severn-Lamb 7-car diesel train in original livery bowling along Southend Pier.
Although I am a Scot, I was dragged up in Southend and now live 80+ miles away, but still get there about 3 or 4 times a year.
