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).
