| This photo, taken on 9th March 1963, shows locos 3804 (?) and 3801 pouring on the power to provide a photo opportunity to the group of enthusiasts who had de-trained and gathered lineside for a "snap". What a shame health and safety issues have gone crazy these days as such an event would almost require an act of Parliament, dozens of paid officials in orange vests and hundreds of pieces of paper. The group were on a farewell steam tour to Oberon. (© Paul Ballard) |
