Thanks to Jim Burton for this pure nostalgia from a bygone age
Newark – Crewe took the best part of 2 hours 30 minutes courtesy of DMU’s each way to do it!!!! This may explain why I did not do it often!!! The only bit of light relief were the scrap lines if one entered Derby (Midland) from Spondon via the Chaddesden curve – where the football ground is now located!!
Monday 13/08/62
The scrap lines contained the following 2-6-4 tanks ……
42330 (ex-15C) ; 42328 (ex-9E) ; 42539 (ex-9A) ; 42521 (ex-33C) ;
42395 (ex-11A) ; 42404 (ex-11D) ; 42535 (ex-33C) ; 42534 (ex-33C) ;
42510 (ex-33C)
