Tiny Gathering
Tiny Gathering. In honour of the NRM’s ‘Great Gathering’ I’m uploading this is a smaller collection which occurred at Aberdeen’s Ferryhill shed (61B) in August 1966.
Gresley 'A4’s' 4-6-2 no.’s 60009 "Union of South Africa" and 60019 "Bittern" receiving some attention. Remarkable, (or not so given this was last place for A4’s) both locomotives were saved for preservation.
Looking back I don’t think I realised just what I was seeing. If I had I might have taken more pictures. But then I only had 36 per roll of film, and limited resources, not like today’s digital era with over a 100 per card!
