I wish I had a pound for every loco I've turned on this table, I'd be well off, I did about 3 years coaling and tanking, running in, (putting loco's on the shed roads)and the shed shunt, i failed with my eyesight so couldn't go on th main line. I worked with all the men on the shed, one who is still about, is Alan Box.
