Re the Ince Foreg loco, it is actually an ex Manchester, Bury, Rochdale and Oldham steam tram engine built by Beyer Peacock in 1885. Fleet number was from the 83 to 86 batch of engines. It was suppose to be number 84 but this cannot be proven especially as there are bits off 83, 85 and 86 with the remains. The engine will eventually be restored back into its tramway condition but is a long term project. If anyone has photos of it during its Ince Forge days I would be gratefull to look at.
