I'll have a look see if I can find it for you Edit: found it for you https://www.booklaw.co.uk/booklaw-publications/great-northern-railway-the-back-line.html Oh thanks. That is a completely different book, and I think I might have misunderstood your original post. I would love all of the books on Nottingham, not that I originate from the city - but I did used to go trainspotting there as a young boy, and only discovered the details of fascinating web of lines in the area after many had already closed. The problem is, can I afford them all - and do I have the shelf space, without SWMBO issuing a cease and desist order? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you have that backwards. If people are not exposed to risks as children then they never learn how to assess risks as adults. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyburns56 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The Pannier/County combo is quite interesting in itself, but according to a Flickr comment by our very own Wagon Paul that's a twin jib track panel crane behind the pannier.

They probably have the end door sealed and coil cradle added as per the coil J and RTB minerals.
