A nice video of the 2008 Rally by Andy Sleigh. (You'll have to excuse the odd aspect ratio.)

A few seconds of video of Paul Bender's experimental loco by David Neish. Two members of the Gas Turbine Builders Association were helping him to run it up.

This unusual experimental loco by one of our regular French visitors can be seen at the Rally: Photo, YouTube video. It has a pulse jet, driving a turbine and runs on LPG or vegetable oil.

I have started to upload a few photos to flickr to see how it goes. Vale of Rheidol, Aug 2007.

Video of a narrow-gauge line in China. A great piece of high resolution video which is best played full screen. This is a BIG file. You will have to download the DivX player if you don't have one already.
