Hi there,
I spend my free time at the Middleton Railway in Leeds where I am a steam loco driver and also help run the photo archives. We are looking at expanding the collection to cover Leeds built locomotives in service around the country and abroad. This blog has some fascinating images and I wondered if we could discuss having a copy for our archive?
I hope to hear from you.
Any
Hi Andy, no problem at all – what would you like? John cws

Many thanks,
Andy
