Hello and welcome to the forum Ian. I'm afraid I'm unable to help with your question.

Railway Goods Guard
 

thanks am i in the right place to find any info

Yes, I think someone will be able to point you in the direction of some helpful information.

Hello Ian and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

The guard is the man
Who sits in the van
Which rides at the back of the train.

The driver up front
Thinks the guard is a c***
And the guard thinks the driver's the same.

(Quoted from a wee book of Scottish railway poetry!)

Welcome to the Forum Ian. You could have quite a job on your hands here. I think the Midland railway records are in Derby. Will do some research and get back to you.

Best wishes,
