Anoraks Corner .. Gotta have one this morning in honour of DGBiC recruiting its 10,000th member (whilst I was watching Frasier!) .. Like untold masses out there in DGBiC Land, Malvern Road Station and sheds were one of my favourite haunts, when I wasnt lurking around the Reddings, Cloddymore & The Iron Bridge, Tewkesbury Road coal & freight yards or Lansdown Junction & Bridge etc etc. .. I sneaked into Malvern Road Engine Shed many times and on occasions, was chased out by that angry old git of a foreman in a trilby hat! .. I even purloined a large wad of new cotton waste from the unattended stores! .. A souvenir I still have til this day in a wooden box close to where Im sitting! .. In this timeless study taken by D. Clayton from a moving train in June 1951, a former GWR Mogul rests in full steam next to a Collett 0-4-2T 14xx (right) which is almost certainly awaiting its next turn along the Honeybourne line!
