6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' at Wigan North Western

[thomas1140]

I remember trainspotting on Wigan NW platform on many a Saturday in 1953/4 & wiping the cabside numbers clean with my coatsleeve of locos like this one, totally in awe as they stopped en route on the "B/ham - Glasgow". Sad or what ! - still we didn't have colour tv, pc's, videos & wii etc.

OOoogh the anticpation when the cry out then was "amber", "double amber"......... "green" .........."semi" - as the Royal Scot train thundered thro' headed by a pacific. - Happy days, Thanks for posting.
