One of the fond memories which I always had of the old I-O-W steam trains was the sound of the Westinghouse brake cylinder on the side of the O2 and Terrier locos. You could nearly always tell when there was one waiting in the station by the CLINK - CLANK - CLINK - CLANK as it pumped up the brake vacuum. Many of the carriages were still emblazoned with V.R. - Victoria Regina - going back to the days when a special royal train would take her from Ryde to Whippingham station as part of her journey to Osbourne House.
