My father was a fitter engineer and repaired many of the trains on your video. He worked there for 43 years,taught apprentices. Also in WW2, RAF, he repaired Spitfire, Dakota etc. He had the chance to be a commissioned officer but turned it down to return to the job he loved. He had the chance to help build the railways in Rhodesia, but had had his time in Africa where he served for 5 years in WW2. Unfortunately, he died of asbestosis. RIP
All the numbers changed when the railways were nationalised. All LNER had a 6 added, LMS had 4s and 5s etc.hope this is enough info....Mike thanks for watching
