Great Photos Ian :claphands:

Never got round to going up to Arkwright with a camera even though not that far away. Went to the site before they started coaling and moved the village when enableing works were going on.

Thanks Dave - The 120's photo is some time ago isn't it as the machines are in Budge livery. Look out for more pics as I've got some of the RH170 at Maidens Hall to scan in. :thumbup:

Hey Ian, Those smotherfly pics, were they taken on the bigger side of the bridge or the Ironville side? Do you have any more pictures of the smotherfly site?
