I've also found some information to question my Ludgate Hill reference, I found an old rally programme, (always a source of 100% accurate information as we all know hehe), which quoted the engine as working in the crystal palace area, not the City, Does anyone know for sure? I'd also love to know how the system worked, whether carters were charged to use the engine, or quite what! If anyone knows more about the specifics of how the engine was used, i think it would be most interesting. Any ideas anyone?

No probs ) I've since found out that its Makers number 1296 and was built in 1903. I'd love to know if Tasker's made anything smaller, they did not seem to go in for particularly large engines.

Will try and rectify my omissions at Welland and Astle Park, plus have a huge number of Banbury pictures, and I;m sure there will be some rollers amongst them hehe Watch this space...

I didn't intentionally leave out "Evening Star", I intended to upload a picture I'd taken at Shugborough, but they were a little overexposed. I've played about with one on the pc (not something i normally do with my photos except for cropping, so I'm not the best at it) but, I've put the best of the three I took up here in the Shugborough section... http://craigbennett.photobook.org.uk/c1547869.html
