87018 - My Last One!

18th January 2004

18 was my last seven to scratch for haulage, being raked in on 31/12/94 on a Liverpool-Euston from Crewe, the loco only being known on arrival at Rug to cue celebration! Here are some varied phots including a West Coast TPO which used to be fairly common seven turns.
