Items related to Scottish Steam: A Celebration
Synopsis
This collection of images chronicle steam railways in Scotland, generally during the British Railways era, and particularly during the last complete decade of steam between 1955 and 1965. The photographs (all taken well before the digital age) have been especially selected to show the wide variety of Scottish based steam locomotive types at work and on shed at locations throughout Scotland, which vary from inner city to country branch line. David Anderson's black and white images are a truly remarkable record of the age and they are complemented by carefully selected additional images by other notable photographers and accompanied by appropriate words supplied by railway author Keith Langston.

About the Author
Fred Kerr was born in Edinburgh in 1948 where he gained an interest in railway locomotives from both the LMSR and LNER companies whose services permeated the local network. When his parents moved to Corby in 1956 the local steelworks provided further interest from its mix of freight services, including seeing the last of the Beyer Garrets and the replacement Standard Class 9Fs whilst the industrial locomotives of the internal steelworks network offered further insight into the variety of steam locomotives. This was a time of change and during the 1960s the interest in locomotives included the new order of diesel and electric traction without reducing the interest in steam traction. Whilst his interest in Diesel Traction led to his early involvement with the Diesel & Electric Group and its preservation activities during the 1970s, his move to Southport in 1982 restored his opportunities to return to his first love of viewing steam locomotives at work and this album records some of the locations that he chose to visit and the locomotives that he was able to photograph. Today his interest continues as a life member of the A4 Locomotive Society, Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and Ribble Steam Railway whilst he also support bodies concerned with preserving steam locomotives, diesel locomotives and infrastructure extensions.
