Hi Tony, 
No I'm not a member there, however the last time I looked there were no main
line registered industrial steam locos, nor were there any large main line
locos at Middleton!

Great atmospheric place though!

You say that nothing has been visiting the Middleton with such assurance 
Craig that I must ask you if you are a member too. I joined about a year 
ago, partly to relive my youth as I was born and raised literally just round

the corner from their engine sheds, along with riding on the footplate into 
Leeds from the Farnley sheds with my uncle when he lived up there. And my 
wife still cannot see why I find steam engines so wonderful ... :-((
