Did Bob originally work at Prescott Street before moving on to Crewe? If so he had a photo printed in the Wigan Observer in Sept/85 showing a group of young loco workers - Geoffrey Shyrane titled the phot "Boys in the steam-house". I have the newspaper cutting but would love to see the original photo as we think a relative may be one of the young lads. A little more info was that the photo was taken against train no 51474 and it was a saddle tank.
