That Southampton photo triggered a few memories, I must say. 1966 was a memorable year for all us Southern school kids; watching the last steam, Bulleid Pacifics, Standard tanks etc through Andover, all mingling with those terribly modern Warships and Class 33s.
One particular down working through Andover at 16.29 weekdays (just manageable to cop after a rush to the Junction after school), required the loco to uncouple, move forward then set back into a siding to pick up a parcels van before continuing westward.
The loco would be filled with us kids during the shunting, (how patient the crews were), but on a few occasions the van was a Gresley bogie, just like the photo; more than once, but it was unusual enough to sit in the memory.
Funny how that memory works- 50 years on and the number is still stored away for some reason, which is a bit disconcerting. E70551E.
Thanks for the photos.
