Nice pictures Mr Taylor. Would you be interested in contributing some images of Wigan Springs Branch and/or Wigan 'C' sheds for a book I am finalising on the locosheds of district 8 on British Railways, during the steam era? If so, please contact me by email as soon as possible at: 4pearces@adam.com.au

Kind regards,
Kenn Pearce
