Born in 1970 and living in Newton Abbot I was too young to recognise Westerns in service. I have memories of being a kid on the beach at Teignmouth, seeing trains accelerate north bound, rakes of blue& grey with Sulzer up front, or so I thought until I had my first Western in preservation. D1010 on the Bodmin & Wenford in 1991, slipping in the wet on one engine, it hit me ,I know that sound!
