Shrewsbury - 26th August 1965.
With no cabside number plate, name plate or shed plate plus looking filthy, 7821 Ditcheat Manor seems just one step removed from the scrapyard. Looks can be deceptive - at 2.30pm 7821 will head the premier down service of the day to Aberystwyth, the Cambrian Coast Express.
The three recordings, on each of which I have left my father's announcements, are:
A) 73158 running light engine to the shed.
B) 7821 moving stock in the station.
C) 7821 departs on the Cambrian Coast Express.
