Ay up!

Did you know 46115 was the first engine I ever cabbed? Haworth circa 1969 - I was three!

And don't 48151 look lovely with that patina of dirt?

Well done, BJ. Very well done!

Hi BB,
I saw 46115 regularly at Leeds in the fifties, when it was shedded at Longsight. The next time I bumped into it was at Dinting in the early seventies. The 8F was very common around our way, as it lived just about three miles down the road at Canklow.

A little known fact, this.

When 48151 was first overhauled, it was at a garage in Wakefield and I did a bit of priming on the tender frames!

The tender was clearly visible from the Dewsbury road as you went out of Wakefield towards, well, Dewsbury!
