Mickey Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just been talking to Mrs Mickey about the above depot and wondered if any of the fine people on RMweb have any memories of working or spotting around and about there backalong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 7, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2011 Alas no Mickey - I did both sheds years ago but my main memory of Horton Road was two of us slinging most of the fire out of 7029 back in May 1987 so the boilersmith could get in to deal with several leaking tube ends then doing a bit 'fairly rapid steam raising' (fortunately with an engine that was still hot and had some pressure in the boiler) before heading towards Swindon and getting my pic taken enroute (so my avatar won't let me forget that night). I shall gloss over who moved the engine for oiling and to get it to the shed signal in order to save time for the crew booked to work fotrward.
