Help Finding Picture

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #6364 I have a recolection of seeing a picture probably in a Narrow Gauge and Industrial in one of the nice little 'just because it is a great picture' little spreads of what my have been a Ruston emerging from a little tunnnel with a couple of skips. I think it was in relation to laying a water pipeline (pos to Birmingham from Elan Valley), and had quite an urban feel. I have just been through all my collection (which was a very worthwhile but distracting and time consuming exercise!), but cannot find it. Does this ring a bell with anyone and could they point me in the right direction to finding it again? Thanks, Kevin.
David Woodcock All Messages By This Member #6365 I think that the answer lies in Roy’s erstwhile Industrial Narrow Gauge Handbook where there is an article on constructing a Birmingham Waterworks pipeline and also, inter alia, on Wheatley’s Springfield Tileries at Stoke-on-Trent. It is the latter article that has a picture of a Ruston emerging from a tunnel with 3 skips on tow. The Tileries lasted relatively late and became popular for visits towards the end so their are quite a lot of photographs in circulation so you might have seen one elsewhere. I haven’t tried but it might be worth Googling the Tileries and seeing what “images” emerge on the internet. David Woodcock Champlon, Belgique
