How the lineside trees were kept down in the days of yore...

And I would dearly like to see this recreated in Z, N, OO, O, or any scale you wish to imagine !

okay - you wanted another view..... here’s an alternative view of “Stacker” Steadman’s.... erm... handiwork

did somebody mention the work of Saltley men?

it was Colin Massingham, Chris Guntripp and a chap from South Wales called Richard (whose surname escapes me). Mike Jacobs then came on the scene when the loco moved (by rail) to Matlock in 1986 which was when I got involved plus a few others.

These 2 photos were Reputedly taken on the same day by ER Morten - 5th September 1951 You’ll notice there are only 2 “adornments” over each cab but 1 pair are close together over the centre window but on the opposite end the pair are just to the outside of the centre window frames. however the loco is 4-8-4 On the former and looks to be 4-4-4-4 On the latter. This is probably a mistake on the dates but Morten was quite careful with his picture logs!
