Well done again! These pictures of active and post-closure scenes on the Tanfield Branch are really appreciated. Thank goodness the East Tanfielld to Sunniside sectiin has been re-laid and revived. All that's needed now is an 'N10' 0-6-2T and some LNER pattern 13t timber and 21t timber and 21t steel bodied hopper wagons! Many thanks for the images.
