.........is EE1, No.13 in pristine NER livery. Alongside her is a red and cream 1937 Metro-Cammell North Tyneside LMD/3 unit. I climb into the cab of each, insert my reverser key, switch on the cab lights as the hum of their air pumps begins to shake the brake gauge needles from their long slumber.....sigh! I really must get out more!

Sounds good to me! Would happily settle for an ES1 or EF1 though. Met a chap at the Tanfield Railway who managed to 'cab' all the NER electrics (although I presume not the EE1), having ridden in both the Quayside electrics and going in the EF1's one at a time whilst in storage. Any update on a possible book on them?
