That's brilliant - can you do it with an E-Type as well?

I too lived in Alsager from 1957/63, but failed to identify the location!

But myself and my young mates did attempt to set steam loco's into movement in the railway yard....until we were chased off by a big bloke calling us 'young hooligans!'

Tbh I don't know. Built 67-70. I'd love one but the price is now astronomical.
