As i've said on another post my dad has all of the R and ER newsletters from 1960- present, there might be some pics in there you havn't seen but from reading through them it wasn't the most photographed machine

Craig Craig, I have a 7mm scale outline drawing by the late John Strong, which I'll happily send you as a .jpg if it is of use? In 0-9 Royal Anchor would be about the same size as Colin's Dapol-bash on Shifting Sands - quite a lot smaller than "Shelagh". Send me your email address and I'll reply with attachment - I don't think you can put an attachment on a forum PM? Mick

So far I have turned up some of her in the shed at Carnforth on the last day of operation. Somewhere in the depths there should be one or two taken sevral years previously of her in two tone green which she carried after a bit of a rebuild at Carnforth. However I'm still searching for these. :rolleyes: I also have a couple in the book Rails from Ravenglass including a nice side shot. If you think any of these may be of some use then let me know. Cheers
	Martin
