I just want to thank you all for replying to this thread. Retlaw, the shop in Rishton was Dave Goodwin's (half grocers half model engineers supply's). Another model engineering company took over his drawings and patterns when he retired a few years ago. I'll make it a "must" to visit t'Ossy Mills next time I'm over I hope they will still be on display. From those photo's they look superb. If anyone would like to see a full size version running under steam power there is one in the Manchester Science Museum (old railway station) and it's a good day out for the family, theres also one at Wigan Pier, and there maybe one in the museum at Bolton, near Sainsbury's supermarket.
