Good news on the Carnforth station in the UK. I understand, though, that Steamtown Carnforth is no longer open. I believe it is one of only two or three extant roundhouses in the UK and would seem worth preserving and making a part of the station exhibit. Anyone have an update from there? http://www.morecambetoday.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=34&ArticleID=714453 ryarger@rypn.org |

From the pictures that I have seen of the place, I have only seen a multi-track shed. Not quite sure when it was built. Perhaps the roundhouse is somewhere else on the property? Joshua |

Couldn't find a photo of the roundhouse yet, but here is one of their coal chute, built by Italian prisoners of war in WWII. Several years ago, I read that the concrete in the coal chute was crumbling and it was not clear if it could be saved. anyone know if it is still standing? http://www.freefoto.com/preview.jsp?id=24-03-3 ryarger@rypn.org |
