They were always “IRON MAN” here in West Yorkshire. baronvonmoons: The Ivatt Class 4 was often seen as the ugliest steam locomotive manufactured in the United Kingdom. With high footplates, large gaps in front of the cylinders and double chimneys, they looked very American at the time and weren’t exactly popular. They were very poor steaming until the chimneys were replaced, but they remained, regardless, one of the most visually…unusual classes of locomotive manufactured, far from the British designs of their stablemates. Only one out of 162 survives, and is often dubbed ‘The Flying Pig’, a reference to one of the many nicknames the class earned itself! The engines were also known as ‘Mucky Ducks’ or ‘Doodle-Bugs.’

Riding the rods Indian Style. Appears to be Metre Gauge “Woman riding between cars, heading north from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her luggage is under the car.
