I remember my mum taking me to church&ossy station to see this train as it sped through. ( it could have been around the same time?1960? It frightened me to bl**dy death. I was only 5 and this great lump of iron beltching steam and whistling as it passed through the old church & ossy station put me off steam trains for life.
