Pacifics 824 and 850 are about to be placed into the shed at Thonburri depot prior to working one of 5 regular steam specials that the State Railways of Thailand operate during the year. This one goes to Ayutthaya and was to run on the  3rd October. Locos are prepped and refuelled as they are all oil burners.

Patiently removing all the paint off the diesel locomotive with a small angle grinder! Note the brass emblem of the King on the cab side. All diesel locomotives have them.
