The Metro-Cammel units in their original form have such a British look about them.

Please keep the Hong Kong photos coming. I've thought about going to Hong Kong one day.

Regards
Geoffrey

Hello everyone .
The rail line from Kowloon to Tsim Sha Tsui opened on the 1st of October 1910 as part of the Kowloon Canton railway , in 1982 it became the Kowloon - Canton Railway Corporation and ran freight and electric trains in the British controlled area of Hong Kong to the border with China , the locomotives at the time of my visit in 1991 were 5 EMD G12 diesel locos built by Clyde in Australia and four EMD G16s , three built in America and the last one built by Clyde Engineering in Australia, also a large fleet of suburban E.M.U cars built by Metro Cammell in England in 1983 , here are a few shots taken of this railway .
Cheers .
John Phillips.
