Hi Noel,
more please. I also enjoyed the way you added the extra
text instead of just loco numbers as it "painted a fuller
picture"!!
Same for all the other memories eg The Sydney Central
1969/1970 series from a few weeks ago was also highly enjoyable.
Our ex enfield guard [Marc Hunt] is another one I would like
to encourage.
One reason I want these memories is that I was around in those
years but didn't manage to keep a notebook. My other historical reference for
that era is my "Units in Focus" book.
Cheers
Peter Cokley
