    Hello Derek, the A.V.R. articles in the RM inspired me into having a go way back in the early 70s...even if I was only 10...I came across one a couple of months back when looking for something else...and it took me right back. Cheers Derek

    18th May 1975, school trip from Durham to London...blue/grey Gresley buffet car on the opposite platform at Kings Cross...it had worked in from Bradford (opened the door and removed the sticker from the window)...I remember being told off for planning to steal one of the loose chairs, but did manage to convince one of my teachers to take a picture of it...and to think I was only eleven...now if only I had had the foresight to do something practical like...write the number down!! Regards Duncan
