Such happy memories, of that great place, dad took me as a child, and the engine was a green monster , lots of shining brass and copper, and great hiss's of steam. The driver said I could stand on the foot plate, dad lifted me up, the heat from the fire which was glowing, all around the cab, I remember every detail, though very young, frightened, but awe struck, at the same time, I must been about 5 or 6. !! Funny how some memories last!!
