About David Birchall
Originally from Manchester in England, but now live near the foot of the Pennines, regarded as one of the most scenic areas of outstanding natural beauty in Great Britain. It's a great place to live for a photographer, but as you can see from my galleries I like to venture further afield occasionally. I have been a photographer for over 30 years, and always remember the best piece of photographic advice I was given. Some years ago I worked with a very elderley and wise photographer and he said to me on one occasion "you are looking but not seeing". That has always stuck with me, and I try and remember it each time I look through the viewfinder. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something here you like. Please enjoy your...

Thank you David, for the explanation regarding the side panels. Most interesting. I did go to Google as suggested. I work in retail lighting design. One of my clients brings back from England, polished brass railroad dining car lamps. We refit them to US electrics. I found an old Illustrated London News from the 1920's showing them as originally used. My state (Pennsylvania} has an intense history of both railroad and canal development. Where I live (outside of Philadelphia) you can find traces of the pioneer Philadelphia and Colombia railroad. In the early days 1830's they used portage with steam winches to lift passenger carriages up inclined plains. And instead of wooden ties, they used granite blocks to fix the ties. If it's of interest, look up the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the Inclined Plain on Google. Perhaps the old technology might interest you.
David Birchall replied:
I will look it up Ira, it sounds very interesting. In U.K there is a big market for old railway memorabilia, particularly old steam locomotive nameplates, which sell at auctions for many thousands of pounds. I would love to have one, but way out of my price range.

David, What was the purpose of those flat panels on the left and right front. Was this an effort to streamline design? I've noticed in old photos some German steam engines from the late 30's and 40's had the same design. Just curious. Thanks
David Birchall replied:
Ira, they are smoke deflectors. Generally fitted to express passenger and heavy express freight locomotives, to send the smoke upwards to give the crew better vision when travelling at speed. Various designs were used depending on the particular class of locomotive. The German style ones were only tried on one U.K class of engine, but the experiment didn't continue as steam was coming to an end. The world famous 60103 Flying Scotsman was fitted with the German style ones for part of her working life, and actually carries them now in preservation. Google 60103 and you will see them fitted.

Nice shot, .... still can't get used to seeing a "Duchess" in green or black livery!
David Birchall replied:
Thank you David. This was about 5 years ago, she was only black for a short time. She is now BR green. I do remember some green ones in BR days, 46220 and 46239 were definitely green, as were some others. However, like you probably I prefer them in red.
