Notes :
(1) A.M.R. stood for 'Attenborough Model Railway'. Roger Johnson comments: Yes, the train really was called 'Creweorton Flyer'!! with headboard. The owner of Attenborough Model Railways, a Mr. J.H.Gibbons, had a somewhat quirky way of naming his special trains! At Gorton & Openshaw station the passengers detrained and walked the short distance to the works. The loco shed adjacent to the works was also visited, though probably not officially.
