A nice set of photos again mate. The ones with the Duchess of Sutherland brought back some memories, I got one for Christmas in 1982 (I think). At the time as a young teen it was my favourite loco. My perants saved up for most of the year for it, my dad was out of work for most of that year so hard enough to pay bill let alone save a bit for me for Christmas. I still have it and it still runs ok but the traction tyres have given up and the lights don't work. I'll never part with it and I always think of my dad when I see it. Spent my summer holidays the following year doing paper rounds to save up for the carriages. Happy days.
Glad to bring back some memories, Phil.
I remember my first term in Junior School. My teacher, Mrs Watson brought in a huge picture of a LMS Duchess engine. Duchess of Hamilton if I remember correctly. Huge the picture was. It covered a quarter of the classroom wall. As one who had seen only black engines I was 'blown away' at seeing one in maroon.

Probably wasn’t as big as you remember. Always surprises me if you visit a junior school now how tiny everything thing is.

Where Mrs Watson got it from I had no idea.

One is in a world of fantasy. A world long gone. Thirty minutes of wonderful L M S madness before going back to diesels.

The container train passing Roseville Station. When I lived in Leeds, everyday I would see wagons with Manchester Liners Containers on them as they headed down Roseville Road.
