Well I could only have been 6 or 7 at the time - and didn't know about A class pacifics then I'm afraid. Neither do I know what the problem was - but it was serious since after a good while another loco - no idea what - came to rescue it - and this just added to the excitement. No doubt it set off from Neasden (14D) - and after the tracks were cleared of LT electric trains moved North to the rescue. I do recall that it must have been over the school summer holidays - and I waited in vain for a repeat performance over the next few weeks. Funny how these incidents stick in the mind - whereas countless others are totally forgotten.
