Hi all,

Three pictures this week of the same engine, a Chinese QJ class 2-10-2.
We had moved on overnight by train from Xian to Zenghzang and a visit to the depot there where they had done us proud, their pride and joy was on view. There were about 40 odd engines including this beautifully kept engine. Even the engines in-service were really well kept and clean.
It transpired that we were to go out into the countryside to do some line side photography and they were going to put 2911 on a train for us to photograph, and some train it was.
Three rather nice pictures before we became enveloped in a sand or rather soil storm the next day out in the country, If you look in the distance to the left you can see it coming!
2nd and 3rd April 1983.
Regards
Ledg.
