Hi Brian, Thanks for the advice. I do not yet know when this trip will occur but I do know that it will happen one of these days. I had wondered about the best way of tackling this one - car parks and decent access can be an issue at a lot of preserved railways.
The Midland Railway was not noted for the puissance of its steam locomotive fleet! Nor its bizarre ideas about wheel bearings. That being said, they produced some very handsome machines. Johnson's singles and Deeley's compounds were very elegant. Cheers, Owen. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Cowell To: mogtalk2 Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 3:52 PM Subject: [mogtalk2] Non Mog East Lancs Railway Hi Owen I have only just seen this, been away. In my view, the best place to start from is Rawtenstall, the northern terminus. There is a free car park adjacent. Get a return for the round trip and perhaps break your journey on the return at Bury (on a market day) and/or at Ramsbottom. Enjoy a proper meat-pie, (NB not pork) either hot or cold; and get some Bury black pudding. The Railway has some great locomotives, if you avoid those of the Midland Railway. The Company does work for other railways. Have a look at the website.
