Hi there Alan try putting Kenn Pearce up on Google there's a lot of books by Him regarding Lancashire Steam,

Alan..if you haven't already checked your emails I have sent you a message in reference to the book...and where to find it.

Hello momac thanks again still trying to find this blasted book

Alan, I wonder if you could ask a bookshop to locate one for you.. possibly for a small fee..it`s worth a try..good luck.

If you find the book is the steam train called Lyndsey in it. It was wigan coal & iron companys only train. My great grandfarther fitted the original boiler in it. It is now in carnforth.

grayclose31 type Lyndsey steam train into search box and there is a photo on an old forum site
