Locoworker

Hi there Alan I'm not a modeller but your model of the Loco works is superb, it makes me feel as though I am back there, which I was between 1957 and 1963 as a boilersmith apprentice. The picture taken of the five men in the boiler shop, the two to the left were my colleagues Arthur Kynaston (boilersmith) second from the left Don Rees (Apprentice boilersmith) the gentleman in the middle was the boilersmith chargehand. (who's name I can't remember) However I do remember he used to pop into the boilershop in morning when I first stated there after he had retired, so the photo is pre 1957 but no older than 1952. I don't know from what year your model represents, but at the time I was working there, the gas works was the plant & machinery workshop with the electrical repair workshop at the back. If there is any information regarding the works I can help you please contact me, however to my regret I have no photo's. John Dyke
