    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Mentioning LYR saddle tanks, does anyone know what's happening with 752 at Haworth, the restoration had been progressing well, but there hasn't been any news, visible progress? for a while now.

    Very peculiar looking engines... what sort of work would they have been used for?

    As you can see a lot of them survived as works shunters
