Railway in 1950’s and 60’s
Paul has sent in this wonderful memory for publication:
“My memories of trains in the UK began with my late dad Tom. He started on the railways in the late 1950’s through to the 60’s. He started on small steam engines with the LNER and he eventually progressed to be the fireman on the famous “Sir Nigel Gresley” which is one of the big “Mallard” class tender engines now held in the National Railway Museum in York. Sadly he never made a driver as the “diesels” took over. But, no matter whether he made driver or not I was proud of his achievement and always will be. “
