Hello Vaughan
Seems really hard to imagine that this loco lasted all that time, was this in everyday service when you saw it? Ok I know its going back just a bit!
Regards to all. Ant
Hi Vaughan and Ant, nice side on of a lovely old loco. Ant, some of them lasted longer than 1960! - I liked surfing and used at times to holiday at Treyarnon Bay near Padstow. I can recall seeing T9's at Padstow in the early 1960's. I saw them coming in to Padstow Station on the 'Withered Arm' hauling just two or three green coaches. Very graceful engines they were. Regards from Phil H. Oz.
