I bought this a couple of years ago. It's big, about 12 inches high.
With clouds hanging over the future of Steelmaking in Scunthorpe, I thought it was time I spent a day in North Lincolnshire exploring the industrial activity.
Set against the fantastic backdrop of the Blast Furnaces (it's only fantastic if you like this sort of thing, probably an eyesore to others), Freightliner 66525 runs down the Scunthorpe Foreign Ore Branch with another load of Ore, working 6T27 the 16:58 Immingham - Scunthorpe Ore Plant.

Our train passes through the interior of a Scunthorpe steel mill, slow shutter used. Taken from the guards van balcony.
Our street looked very nice in a blanket of snow on 28/02/2018. The long shadows from the trees in the midday sunshine danced around on the top of the pristine February snow.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. I will be uploading any I think may be of interest. None were catalogued. Where I know the approximate date I will state it. Similarly I will give the location. Apparently South Yorkshire Transport went to Hull!
Mid 1989.

At 101 years old our motive power for our Scunthorpe steelworks trip was Peckett 1438 of 1916. Regrettably I can't recall exactly where this picture was taken within the steelworks, however the distant structures seem to be the blast furnaces. Torpedo 42 being prominent in this view would seem to confirm the location.
A very clean Petroleum sector liveried 37709 heads towards Scunthorpe station with a westbound oil train, 19.8.88.
I spotted this a few weeks ago in Scunthorpe - nice work and a wonderful sentiment. www.harrisonaphotos.co.uk
Some of the tens of thousands of daffodils outside the church of St Lawrence in Scunthorpe. Every spring I come here, first for the photos of the church and the snowdrops, then a month or so later I come back for the photos of the church and the daffodils.
Stagecoach Scunthorpe's B7TL East Lancs Vyking 16907 FX53TXA earning its keep today on the 1A along with four other of these former Road Car Vykings with a total of ten still in service here.

Steel slab stocks and a mill building at Scunthorpe steelworks. Heavy duty slab carrying wagons in the foreground.
Normanby Hall near to Scunthorpe in the UK. This is showing the east and south side of the great hall on a nice sunny May afternoon in 2016. The gardens were packed with visitors enjoying the sunshine so by taking the image lower down I was able to 'hide' most of the visitors behind the hedges.
In March this year I paid a visit to the huge Scunthorpe Steelworks courtesy of an invite from Andy Hoare. www.flickr.com/photos/andy_hoare/ What an eye opener it was. Seen here is one of the former Norwegian Di8 locomotives. I believe that eleven of the class now operate on this system.
In 1993, my friend Phil (Auchlander) & his wife had been commissioned to produce a book, 'Lincolnshire from the Air'. Not everyone wanted a book of steelworks, docks & railways. So, we used the aircraft for a trip over the more interesting areas!
We were able to have a couple of passes over the steelworks.
This shows the railway interchange, with the coal unloading area on the right.
66012 and 66144 depart the extensive marshalling yards at Lackenby with the 6D12 1332 Lackenby to Scunthorpe. The once mighty steel works is vastly reduced since my previous visit three years ago.
Beyond the yards can be seen some of Tees Port.
The 66s will continue forward through the network of track until rejoining the main line at South Bank approximately 2 miles away.
A great day out at the Scunthorpe steelworks yesterday. The furnace line is hemmed in by other stuctures but it is just about possible to see all four blast furnaces (the Four Queens) in this view. The water tower is a bonus.
