Thanks for these, clearly much better than the original museum. Nice to see 'William Finlay', but the bench in front of 'Dot' is rather in the way of photographers and modellers!

I had forgotten what a fabulous treasury of famous  locomotive nameplates they have.

 

But I am intrigued by "George Sholto No.3. John Beatson. Derby. Contractor". Something other than the usual quarry Hunslet?

I'm intrigued by the MW photo! In the background there appears to be the fronts of a very nice, middle class, Victorian terrace. Why was a railway being built there? Perhaps a municipal tramway under construction?
