Earliest one I can think of.... it's December 1970, there's snow on the ground and I'm looking over the wall at the bottom of Railway Terrace in Rugby watching AC Electrics flashing past with shiny E-prefix numbers on.
Another is from a little later on.....me, Mum, Dad and my two year old sister are travelling on the Met-Line tube from Euston Square to Hammersmith to visit my Nan, we arrive at Paddington and as the carriage doors open I can hear an almighty roar coming from the mainline platforms, our tube train departs then catches up and runs parallel to a blue liveried Warship hauled express, we stop at Royal Oak and I watch the Warship blasting up the slight incline to Westbourne Park.... I've loved them ever since (and all the other hydraulics!).
Nidge ;O)
Very vividly told. I can just imagine this monster of a diesel roaring up the incline. I wish I was there.:cry: It was the glory days I never experienced.
