Responses
Please may I humbly suggest that your headline Locomotive Number should read 45562 ( not 45662 ). I am delighted to see Alberta alive and steaming in all her glory. Well done to all the dedicated people who have saved her. Takes me back 60 odd years to when I was a young Train Spotter and Jubilees were my favourite Locomotives and many of their Names and Numbers are still engraved into my memory. Thanks for sending me your regular updates. Best regards to you all. David Yates.
