A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City branch presentation by Michael Smyth.
Pictures from three trips to the Ukraine in 1993, 1999 and 2002. These illustrate Russian designed steam locomotives at work and explains the American influence of the 1930s.
More importantly it aims to give an insight into the history, geography and normal life, in this now sadly war-torn country.
The picture above is a P36 class 4-8-4 on a run-past – Russia’s final post-WWII design of an express passenger engine, of which 250 were built up to 1959.
Doors open 13:30.
