| Having scanned some recently discovered colour photographs which where mainly of the "Cumbrian Mountain Express" taken locally over the past twenty years, I decided to start this collection and transferred some pictures from other galleries into this one.
I was surprised to see the variety of steam used on this excursion and help filling in some dates would be helpful as they have been long lost. There will be a gap of a few years between some pictures - I had go at videoing them for while - no doubt some gems to follow when I get chance to up load them |
