[modeleng] Re: Steam Powered Nursery/Garden Centre?

Richard ,

The nursery is on the A1 near Barnsley, the garden centre is open all the 
time & the steam section is open at weekends & holidays. It is on the left 
heading north, next to a large B & Q. There are lots of machines including 
some large ones.
