Not until October at the earliest. Kevin.

Ha ha, he's finally gone ECML - are you sure he hasn't been secretly working on Leeds Central?

Thanks to Andyrush's research back in November, I have just spent half a day in Manchester County Records Office following up the leads on the list of drawings. Suffice to say (cos The Laird hasn't seen the fruits of my labours yet), it has been a most useful piece of help. Thanks Andy. Turned up some really good stuff, which will really help the project along. Although Andy came up with just over 20 references, each ref, constututed a roll of drawings, and said rolls could contain up to 30 individual drawings. Tired, but happy, Kevin

There are some interesting tales told in the Men of Steam series of books by Raymond Flint (father of Steve the RM editor). Castlebrough is a thinly disguised version of Scarborough, and some of the stories relate to the Whitby line. Kevin

Let the drinking commence...........! B)

We know where to come if Rochdale's Thomas layout fails - can't quite see Pete needing 2 Thomas layouts though. Have you spoken to AndyC about it going in Manchester Kevin
