Senior fireman heeded! But Driver the boss! Shunting or banking to many different Branch lines from Adams, M7, Ivatt 2Mt, 82 standard to 8000 Riddles and suddenly the smokebox or ashpan didn’t need raking out?

I wonder if Merchant Navy Clan Line or its footplate crew glanced 72A (Exmth jct) way as it sped over Posloe to Prince Charles road lane for Blackboy tunnel and Exeter Central?
