Pictures/Postcards of Pier RailwayPictured below, copies of 3 postcards I have and one showing Cream and Green electric train trundling along the Pier.
 I also have some somewhere with the trains used between these and the current Blue ones, so will add them as soon as I locate them.

The top postcard is very interesting as the locomotive seems to be carrying Southern Region style train designators . On blowing up the picture to the limit of clarity we can reveal the loco to be a Maunsell Schools class 4-4-0 - bet no one ever saw one of those on the LTSR!

From what I've heard and read, there have been loco's from other ares visit, but not sure one of these was ever one of them. As for the actual picture shown above, I have no idea where it was taken due to very little background.
Re the Blue trains on the pier, I have still to come across the pictures of them.
