WOW, I can remember many a day being spent at Steamtown as a child. And now I see why, children were free!!!. My dad and mum would take us to see the steam trains. I have a photo (or rather I have a slide) of me standing next to the driving wheel of 4472. I was the same size at the time. I continued in my love of steam trains (one of the many ladies who do), where as my brother didn't.
The photos are very good quality.

Am I seeing link -and-pin couplings? I didn't know anybody used them.

As an engine cleaner at Hull Dairycoates in the early sixties, I had cleaned this loco many times and fired it as well. It followed me later on working around the Leeds area after I transferred their as a regular fireman October 66.
