When I was 7 yrs old I seen this loco at Cardiff General Station (now Cardiff Central) standing at platform 3. I had the great joy of the Driver letting me go onto the footplate he showed me the controls etc But the thing that I remember the most was the moment he open the firebox door, The heat was awesome.
