Trains

Steam trains have a particularly nostalgic feel, and there are many of them below. I have a lot more trains on stamps, especially mint Leaders of the World issues. These are especially attractive stamps, issued in pairs, with a technical drawing of the train shown above, and the train depicted below. An example is the set from Grenadines of St Vincent, Bequia, shown below. Some are grouped into sets, others not. They were issued by a number of countries, such as St Vincent, St Lucia, and different Tuvalu islands. 

Leaders of the World locomotive stamps 
£0.85 for eight different pairs (16 stamps),
£0.65 for six different pairs (12 stamps) and
£0.45 for four different pairs (eight stamps).
Please email me if you are looking for any particular Leaders, or any other locomotive stamps.
