if u knew Fred Lowe so well- then you would know the Bedford Bricker. he "came out" about 6 or 7 years ago tho'.

Bob Bexon from Sleaford was good value as well. Always dodging the "Grip" with his 3D Ticket.

nah don't think so m8.

"Super Shunter" didn't like it at Sheffield when the leeds-poole service would arrive on plat 5 and then get hauled back out by an 08, to be then shunted onto the back of the 07.52 Newcastle (Scum)- Poole service. I once nipped in the bog and flushed it onto the ****.

Top quality laff they were: 1S60 1S66 1A40 1A41 1E35 1L00

that's the one. I remember the two Bakers and another kid with curly hair that used to go up Scotland. Brummie lads I knocked about with were the generation before- late 70's, early 80's. Taylor, Bingley, Woody etc Colin Moss and Rancid George were fckin Neds man. Remember Bayliss too...

Yep, shocking.:lol::lol: Wouldn't have minded a dabble with that Toni Scammel though. There was another bird too called Liz- she wasn't much cop like.

The Buzzard was Rancid. Other rancid dudes from the 70's/ 80's era include: Gruntle F**k Pig- Grantham The Romford Gravedigger- err Romford The Hog- Reading Pete Cufflin- used to dress like Dick Emery's Bovver Boy sketch Soup- Dudley aka Dudley Zoo Whatever his name...

Let's get a thread on past legends and see how many we can come up with. One name per post only and I 'll start with: Wellington

I think they were mainly used as freight engines in their later years from what I can remember. When I get time I will attempt to find moves books various.

Mr Lowe- oh yes!

we probs know each other MOOG if you were flailing in '84.

I have some old timetables in the loft- well preserved. Let me know if interested and I will dig them out.

1S19- DONE MANY A TIME. 1V62 The other way

There were lots of Brummies about in those days. Early 80's it was Ade Taylor, Bingley and John Wood. 85/6 seemed to bring in a new breed after they packed it in- Baker brothers rings a bell with me.

the East Coast Overnights? 1A40, 1A41, 1E35, IL00 et al. of course there is the 06.30 Inverness - Wick- you know it- the rolling stock you piled onto off the GLA-IS overnight- whipped out your space blanket, smothered yourself in it and woke up fully toasted around Brora.
