31st May 1987

One thing I do remember about the open days at Coalville was that photographing the locos could be tricky, as they tended to be arranged close together. And the staff loved pacing bin bags over the greasy buffers! Probbaly a good idea, but it would have bene nicer to have just cleaned the buffers!
