      From: chrisjbrady@gmail.com              A new graphic from 1882 has come to light at Wiki:              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Barbados              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Barbados_Railway_-_The_Graphic       -_8th_February_1882_-_displayed_in_Sunbury_Plantation_House,_Barbados.jpg              or rather:              http://tinyurl.com/barbadosrailwaywiki              This coloured engraving / print was actually on display in Sunbury Plantation       House. It was photographed skewed to avoid light reflections. Then the image       was straightened using IfanView and the free Adobe 8BF plugin 'perspective'.              There is the briefest glimpse of a train in the 1930s film 'Windmill in       Barbados.'              http://www.colonialfilm.org.uk/node/6734              Does anyone know what the engine is and where it was built? It would have been       to the original 3'6" gauge.              CJB.              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
