Lively Polly at Wellington Dock on the Overhead Railway. The bridge behind was the L&Y Rly High Level Coaling Railway to Wellington and Bramley Moore Docks.

Thanks. 6 ft x 3ft.

My latest acquisition from a well known auction site:

Then and now.

Amateur film of the LOR from the NW Film Archive: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-liverpool-overhead-railway-1893-1956-1956-online?fbclid=IwAR0oXF3dJZ0duR1nSFFF4hVqVf13NHzEq8eo9t1qSMfGqpkEQa5ypJKGnHI

The LOR employed a Ruston for engineering work trains, replacing Lively Polly. Information on colour/livery seems non-existent? So perhaps something like this image is a reasonable guess? Copyright Idle Drifter, photographer unknown.

I'm delighted with Richard Ellis' work (Monks Gate Models) constructing the Judith Edge kit of the LOR structure.

A big day as the LOR structure is put in place, and it fits! Courtesy of Monks Gate Models and Judith Edge kits.
