(Nude bathing) on distant shunting turns on my lonesome! A hot footplate i would exit to dive into those cold river waters! Drivers off with signalman somewhere? All incoming wagons of heavens know what flying about the yard! Mind them chickens, Dozens flying all ways! The Ivatt or standard 82? How many short skirted women (Mini skirt) of the time could seek refuge on the late night trains? Dont scoff! Single carriage compartments back then! Driver always has Mary on his lap! Not a small thing? 12 stone of fine legs! Drivers face crimson without fire door open! Were doing 60 or 70 MPH and her mates grab boiler front things for their balance! Ooh that’s hot? they shout! I wonder if they have since related to their grandchildren of those trips? Granny been on a steam engine they say! Mum, Grans telling fibs again they cry? No, Grans having time of her life i hear? Would i jump in that river now? NO, Would them women ride on our footplate? NO, Its a passing thing, Mind you i could tell of diesel goings on! But i wont. But for 2 cans of Hobgoblin i could tell some pearlers!
