Nice Picture. Is that in the Merry Hill Yard?

[IBH]

Yep, its Hydrex's so called Birmingham depot, its full of Komatsu and Atlas road-railers at the moment but I couldn't get any photos worth keeping.

Ahh, Birmingham Depot No where near Did you get any TDR pictures?

[IBH]

Only two TDR shots-the one below and a close-up of the NCK in the cranes sub-forum.
The yard was empty at the front with everything of interest tucked away behind the Marwood Group depot- through whose gate I took the photo:

I also did an old an old 30cwt dumper for Thwaites, but i cant find the pic.
