http://www.lyrs.org.uk/  The Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Society. The society most likely to know the answer to any question you have about the L&YR.

http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/ The Great Western Society. The society with a huge collection of GWR locos, rolling stock and much more besides. If it no longer exists they will try to arrange for a replica to be made, even locomotives!
