I wondered whether it was at Golden Acre, but I don't know it well enough.

Very intriguing. The vehicles are obviously ex-industrial, somewhere in the gauge range 1' 6"-2' 6", and are probably in someone's private garden. I have a vague memory of a site in Leeds 4/5/6 that this may be, but I can't place it. Am I getting warm Phill? EDIT 1 Or, guessing wildly, Armley Mills Industrial Museum?EDIT 2 Thwaite Mills?

You've guessed pretty hot with Armley Mills museum Jim, spot on! The old sign can be seen on the wall where they exhibit the old locos in hereI thought it would have been guessed sooner.If you do a google search for 'No skylarking' images only three come up, the third one actually names the location if you click on the photohttp://tinyurl.com/cjpgkakYou'd have to know where to look for the abandoned engines, strictly speaking they aren't in a public area, however if you know where to look and hop over a fence whilst it's quiet, you can fight your way through the undergrowth and find this long since forgotten about old train and shed.Well done indeed Jim P.S Carith I altered the Exif data and date when the photo was taken on my flickr photo to throw people off the scent. I use that method to match dates with mystery locations myself

Phill good one. Would never have got that, or thought of the simple google it. Someone said right clicking on a photo tells you summat about it?Looks an impressive place, must make time for it.Armley Mills got a visit on that 'Who do you think you are' Emilia Fox who's ancestor was a big-hitter Leeds Industrialist (not a luvvie!).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Fox http://www.mylearning.org/jpage.asp?jou ... pageid=766
