Jamesicus. Thanks for showing the picture of the 'clan'. As soon as I saw it I had massive goose bumps allover. I actually started tingling. I was a mad very enthusiastic train spotter in my younger days and railway modeler to boot. I went all over the place to see steam locos. Two of my most memorable moments were running along the platform at Manchester 'London Road' to get my first decko of a brittania and then another time after sneaking into Crewe shed and 'wow' standing next to 'City of Glasgow' . What a monster from ground level. This loco I never ever thought I would catch sight of because it had been damaged in the Harrow and Whealstone rail disaster along with 'Princess anne (the turbine and the jub 'Windward island(I think). The only 'Coronation' class I never got to see was 46222 Queen Mary. Its all too late now of course. Damn!!!
