Tikay, Ive often wondered where you got your railway enthusiasm from but after reading your Fred post on the Dawlish Express now understand and appreciate how chuffed you would have been.
It brought back very happy memories from my childhood as many of my family on both mum and dads side were railwaymen.
Two of my uncles were drivers on the main west coast London Glasgow line and were drivers on both steam and then diesel.
As a young lad Id get taken down to Carlisle Citadel station by my Dad to see them when they were passing through. They were based in Glasgow and think that depending on what route they were on they sometimes changed at Carlisle or went down to Crewe and changed over, does that sound right?
I recall the thrill of standing on the footplate of a huge steam locomotive express wearing one of those flat railway mens caps. Im not sure what the locos were but I wonder if they could have driven the Queen Elizabeth and similiar.
My Grandad who I adored was also a main line driver but when I knew him had retired from BR possibly because of age (he was 60 in 1960) or maybe health and eyesight not up to BR standard and was a shunter driver at the Carlisle Gas Works.
My main recollections of him are probably from when I was 4 to 7 when he died.
I recall some seriously wonderful days when he took me to work on odd weekends and I got the chance to be around and 'drive' a working steam loco and after it was withdrawn its replacement diesel which was to me more fun. Obviously such would not be allowed in these health and safety conscious days although maybe I only got to go at the weekend when the bosses were not around and he could sneak me in.
Those days set up my childhood ambition of wanting to be a main line driver but sadly hopes were dashed very early for me as I was short sighted from around the age of 9 and short sightedness was a bar then to becoming a driver.
Since embarking on this memory lane Ive googled some images of what I believe were both 'his' locos plus some other stuff relating to concrete too :-).
Ill post them when I can figure out how to.
Good luck tonight.

Having a ball.
Arrived late, but only missed a few hands.
Sat quiet first two orbits. All very passive.
Now played 4 hands, won 3 of them. Up to 4,000 from starting 10,000. Second bullet looming into view.
