Crewe Works Open Weekend 10/11 Sept 2005 "The Great Gathering"

London & North Western Railway Locomotive Nameplates

that had been made within these Works.   The comprehensive display

had been assembled from various collections, both private and official.

A display unlikely ever to be repeated; our small tribute to all concerned!

Elsewhere an amazing range of Station Totems from a 50 mile radius of Crewe.

Before the crowds arrived, locomotives were prepared to look their best.

Exhibits ranged from large to small - and included some historic rarities.

Newly named at the Gathering - and resplendent in non-standard colour scheme.
