"Lest we forget" The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) is the postal agency of the United Nations. It issues postage stamps and postal stationery, denominated in United States dollars for the office in New York, in Swiss francs for the office in Geneva and in euros (formerly schillings) for the office in Vienna. As such, UNPA is the only postal authority that issues stamps in three different currencies. The Administration has a dual mandate: first, to disseminate information on the activities and achievements of the United Nations system through the medium of postage stamps, and second, to generate revenue for the organization. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Postal_Administration.

125 years of the first Iberian railway, running between the Catalan cities of Barcelona and Mataró (35 km NE of Barcelona) in October 1848. The stamp shows the English-built engine "Mataró" and Miquel Biada i Sunyol (Mataró, 1789-1848) who was the promotor of the line, but died a few months before its opening.

Chile Scott 209. I find this stamp to be particularly attractive. Enough so that trains, while always an interest of mine, might become a topical for me.

Here is a lovely Benham FDC commerating the Canadian Locomotive series issued in 1984, Canadian Locomotives (1860-1905) Scott n.º 1036-9
This cover joins an earlier set of Benham FDCs commerating the 1983 series; all of them well done and a welcome change from the Canada Post Corporation efforts.
The question is, did Benham make other cachets or covers for the remaining two years of this Canadian series, i.e. 1985 and 1986?
If anyone knows, please do share...
Thanks and happy collecting!

GB Sc # 1093 and 1096 The artist Terence Cuneo , is noted for including a tiny mouse in his railway paintings. You can just about make it out on the 17p,sitting on the fence post on the right. I can’t remember where it is on the 31p of course they’re best seen on the larger scale Official PHQ post cards.

I thought I posted these a while ago. I don't know what happened - it must be another senior's moment! Maybe they went in another thread! Send me to the glue factory will you?
