Has anyone , got any info or pictures of a Britannia loco that lost its tender & train! this was in the late 50's or early 60's.
Thanks Dave.
Thanks Dave.
I assume you were much happier on the Southern Region, lovingly looked after and working the "Golden Arrow" ?Yes, it was ... "me"
Edit 1. If I remember correctly, "I" was on the up Palatine, Manchester Central to St Pancras, in the summer of 1958.
But before my name is besmirched once again over this incident, may I remind all readers that "I" am the only Britannia reliable recorded to have attained 100 mph.

Well, yes and no. I mean, Bill S was the principal man for the job, so I confess I did sulk a bit at Stewarts Lane.I assume you were much happier on the Southern Region, lovingly looked after and working the "Golden Arrow" ?
