Splendid stuff. Back in the sixties when I lived in Surrey, I spent many happy hours watching trains hauled by Battle of Britain, West Country and Merchant Navy class locomotives thundering through Woking station, to say nothing of the hundreds of less glamorous steam engines that worked the southern region in general. What a delight to see such fine footage of the magnificent Tornado so near to what used to be home for me! Thanks for subscribing, too, Andy!
Lucky you, i wish i could go down to Guildford station and watch steam engines, but i cant, all i get to see now are plastic things that make a strange beeping noise when they move off.
There were rarely any 4-6-2s to be seen at Guildford station in the sixties, but there were King Arthurs and Schools aplenty. From a large engine shed by the tunnel at the Godalming end of the station Q class goods locos (We called them 'coffee pots' for some reason) and M4 shunters often lumbered in and out. Further intriguing engine shapes were sometimes visible in the shadows of the shed, but alas, we were never allowed to go inside. Sadly, it was demolished many years ago.
