Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Engineering Tools from Horwich Works. A wonderful little collection of 9 items of considerable importance, rescued from the Works when they became of no further use. There are 2 Axle Box Gauges, the first is stamped 'Steam Motor Rail Coach No 9182' , the second is stamped 'Ldg & Inter Axlebox 0-6-0 Shunting Tanks, Distance Between Feet For Keep'. Then there are 3 male/female threaded devices, all beautifully stamped with company initials (one stamped LMRH, London Midland Railway Horwich). Finally, 4 Wheel Profile Gauges, not company marked apart from one LMRH again, but stamped with some details.
