    Great photos!

    The Stanier mogul is a stunning machine- saw it at the SVR last year, the paintwork is a work of art in itself.

    For those in the region the whole BBC North West Tonight programme comes live from Bury Bolton Street station on Friday 19 December at 6.30pm - 7.00pm. For those not in the region presume you can get it on a catch up/red button of some description.
