Hearing The Memories

56097, "Class 56"56097_20130607_0156097 at Great Central Railway (Nottingham), Ruddington Fields - Railtalk Magazine, 82, pp. 120

I find it interesting that it's not only the sight of heritage locomotives that brings back memories but also their sound and smell. Hearing 56097 at full chat the other day during the diesel gala at the Great Central Railway (Nottingham) brought back floods of memories, hearing these beasts crawl through Barnetby station with their turbochargers screaming as they hauled huge numbers of MRG hopper wagons full of coal.
