Hi all,Please help me resolve an ongoing family debate....When i was young there used to be a giant Steam engine of some kind at the back of Pudsey Park. My brother has since told me that i'm imagining things, but i'm certain it was there.Does anyone else remember it or am i just losing my memory??If it was there does anyone know what happened to it, or why it was put there?many thanks guys

Aaaaaah Haaaa! I knew i was right!Thanks a lot Leeds-lad. Wonder if it'll ever get restored. It'd be nice to see that old engine back in its glory. I remembered it as been huge! It looks a lot smaller now, then again i was 5 yrs old when i last saw it so it probably looked bigger then. ha ha
