    Morning All,

    They can also be found in the Eastern Region collection which is here :

    B.R. Steamdays - 4 : Eastern Region - a set on Flickr

    More to be added in due course.

    Hope that they are of interest.

    Seconded - great fun going through these. There's a shot of Chamossoire and a V2 which is just beautiful. Grim and elegance in two east coast racehorses. What fun! :)

    Me too. Well, not Low Moor; that was Bradford and foreign territory. Substitute Holbeck, Farnley & Stourton.

    Sorry! Couldn't get everywhere. The only picture that I can recall at Holbeck was 46112 SHERWOOD FORESTER in Black and white. But I haven't started on the B & Ws.....yet. Besides, Leeds wasn't in the Eastern Region!

    Ron.
