I have just added a small gallery covering the marathon journey made by the New South Wales Government Railways Class 46 electric locomotives, all of which were built in Stockton-on-Tees, taken by road over the Pennines to Liverpool and shipped from there to Sydney.  The story covers the first locomotive 4601 and has been done to support those looking after the locomotive today in preservation.  This journey took the locomotive through Saddleworth and Oldham and a few photographs have already appeared in the gallery as a consequence.  This one has not, though:

SP6336 NSWGR 4601 Bleak Hey Nook Huddersfield RoadSubject: Wynn’s 161 (EDW 96) hauling NSWGR 4601
Location: Bleak Hey Nook, Huddersfield Road
Date: c.1956

The photographer has moved a short distance down the road to record 4601 passing the A62 junction with the A670. To the right is the Horse and Jockey, now just a ruined shell.

On the left is an AEC Mammoth Major PWY 806 which was number 108 in the fleet of Smith and Robinson, Rothwell. It is painted in the livery of Thomas Hedley and Co. Ltd, for whom it was working under contract. Whilst it may not appear that there is much progress on the gallery, in fact there is a lot of work taking place on a major new gallery of well over 1000 photos.  I am expecting this will become live in the next couple of months.  It will be followed by updates to some of the existing galleries.
