Hi Alex,

Now we are getting somewhere; a miners train, second only to Quarrymen if not equal! The dirtiest jobs possible!

Not only that Scotland in general is the area saddled with almost a total lack of drawings of coaches, and especially for the period that you are talking about, even the competition (Caledonian!) in the new book has only a small amount on coaches and all that is later then you are talking about.

However I have from 1871 or so (just about right as coach life was up to 35 - 40 years) a drawing of an ancient NER coach

Yours Peter
