Indeed we knew it would be anyone from 8. 60001,60002,60005,60016,60018,60019,60020 or 60023 and unfortunately 18 & 23 were usually the worst. Also if I remember correctly all of them were always fitted with Non Corridor Tenders whilst allocated to 52A shed.rob237 wrote:Experienced Grantham gricers could confirm a Gateshead A4 from the grime, immediately the regular cry of "Streak!" heralded an approaching train...

Happy days with Lyons fruit pies and "Vimto". 34F was in my memory one of the harder sheds to visit unofficially despite my family being on the railway or indeed because of.
