The Lightline Treatment: Tony Wright
Pearse "Leeds No1". I purchased new in 2005 and it was sent direct to Geoff to apply the lining. He'd researched this from the few available photos of Leeds and come up with the scheme. Collecting the loco from Geoff was the first time I'd met him and he's was generous with his time showing me round his workshop and line as we drank tea and munched on biscuits.
Wrightscale "Bella No14" I purchased this from Peter Dowd who had Geoff apply a weathered work-a-day livery, very different from the lining he is better known for. The loco is signed "Geoff Munday 03".
"Cackler" I purchased from ANG at Elscar in 2017 and is in Dinorwic red with simple orange lining, underneath it is signed "1924 Geoff Munday 10"
