Very nice to find these splendid pictures...Thank you!
Re headlights..we needed them in Australia as most rail lines were unfenced, and livestock would often be on the track...as well as trees, drunks and other obstacles. British railways were securely fenced from the beginning, and so it was believed headlights were unnecessary. I wouldn't like to be driving into the dark at 100kmh, no matter how good the fences!

locomotives did not have headlights on br only headlamps.as a former saltley driver

Can anyone tell me if it is true that steam locomotives in the U.K. did not have headlights? If so why not?

Excellent gallery! I love the UK and railroading so this is absolutely great. You're blessed with some impressive steam power still running and you've done a great job capturing them. Voted!

New to the web and just 'discovered' your superb site. Terrific memories when I lived in the UK (now in Australia). I wondered why the called the new A1 Tornado when there was a brit (70022) called the same?? why not Genesis, just my 'loose' idea as it seems it would be very appropriate. Still it's not my loco and full credit for all the mammoth effort to all concerned in building it. Good onya. If only there were video camera's around in the days of steam. Please keep up the good work -your photo's stir my thoughts on those great train spotting days in the 1957-63 era for me.
