(So long ago, half dead and spluttering)! Meldon stone ballast trains with the twin bogy Maunsell 30 Urie sort like 30841 we had so many of at 72A shed! Tender first over Dartmoor in the rain! A heavy canvas or tarpaulin up to keep relatively dry! On our return we would await our one or two bankers at St Davids with their coded whistle for…
