Thanks, didn't realise the 7s were tender engines and 8s tanks.
I think when I used to see the Golden Arrow at Waterloo it was a Merchant Navy at the front.
The Golden Arrow went from Victoria. Must have been another train. :-)I think when I used to see the Golden Arrow at Waterloo it was a Merchant Navy at the front.
We used to buzz around all the London Termini. Dad worked for London Underground so we got very cheap tube travel meaning we could spend a day on the tube going from station to station to see what was going on. If we got bore we'd try to get into one of the sheds; Nine Elms, Stratford, Old Oak Common etc.

No, definitely the Golden Arrow, saw it often, it had a dedicated platform, must have been Victoria.

I used to do that on a 5/-Twin Rover: Willesden, Old Oak, Southall, Feltham, Nine Elms (which I always managed to get into, despite its 'difficult' reputation).

A lucky spot yesterday, Clun Castle on a railtour at Llandudno Junction. Wonderful to see and whilst I was brought up with the proper era of diesels in the 70s and 80s, there is something magical and incredibly special about steam. Sorry the photo isn't the best but the sun was playing havoc with the lighting.
