Can you imagine being rostered to OOC Shed, fuel and ferry diagram at that particular time? Absolutely wonderful id have worked for free back then.

A railway mate who worked at Stewarts Lane took us round once. My brother-in-law (to be) and me washed the Class 73s and 33s with a long brush for free. The lads at the depot, and my mate, thought we were mad! 😊 Happy days.
