I have a photograph of my father standing by the side of a Birmingham Steam Tram which was driven by his father (my grandfather). My father, long since passed on, was born in 1897 and he thought that he was about 7 yrs of age when the photo was taken. Tram enthusiasts I have spoken to cannot recall Birmingham having Steam Trams. Do you have any information at all? If you can help please contact me here.

Does anyone have parts, complete or incomplete Henry Meadows "Frobisher" 10.3 litre 6 cylinder diesel engine from the 1950's?

If you can help, contact Mark Simpson.
