If you go back I did say that I did not have the time to read the whole thread and that If it hasn't been mentioned before could also be read as have you already got? I have #16 to hand and #3 on the way. Also good reading are The LMS & LNER in Manchester by R.E Rose Great Northern Railway Engine sheds Volume 3. Yorkshire and Lancashire I don't know if you've got these books or not, I'm just letting you know that there is information in them. no need to bite my head off for not spending the time to read all 50+ pages of this thread.

If it hasn't been mentioned before(only just seen this thread) Scenes from the past 16 (part 1) Manchester Central to New Mills by E.M. Johnson has a large section devoted to Manchester Central.

Don't forget that Flying Scotsman has been down under too! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3139155812_03895b48c6.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3338161103_16246b7479.jpg?v=0 There's an AD60 there too Even more reason to go and see them - shame you can only see them from outside the property. Even better NZZA 800 is supposed to be at Dorrigo as well!

There's a few of Robinson's GCR 8K/O4 2-8-0's here in Austraila. They were brought out here to work the coal mine lines in NSW at some point and now they are just sitting in a Private museum at Dorrigo rusting away as far as I know.

lucky for you that there is a signalling diagram of Camerton - have a look at your thread in the permanent way forum for my reply. rannorgana
