Thank you for getting back Harry. All the information that I have is in the attached file. I have not got definite information as to colour I am afraid.

 Andy
The main names that I am researching into at the moment are Cadman,(originating from Bulkington, Warwickshire), Smedley, (Leicestershire and Derbyshire), Paynes (Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire) and Udall - you will also find several other names on my web page. I look forward to E-Mails from anyone who would like to share or talk about our family history.

did you want the steam restored brighter in that image I made? I can do that.

Also, did you want the 3rd image restored or was that an example?
I just like to do photo restores.

Interesting, Andy. 

As to the painting of the engine, maybe the Industrial Locomotive Society or the Industrial Railway Society might be able to advise - but I don't suppose I'm telling you anything you don't already know.

It would be great if the steam could be restored to the image.  I just gave the third image to give a full view of the engine.  However, if it can be enhanced, an enhanced image would be appreciated.  Many thanks - Andy

I see the one puff on the right, I will enhance that, any others I'm missing?

Also will put some work on the 3rd image.
