When I was at work a woman would get a phone call from her husband at break time. She had told me her husband would be driving a steam loco at the weekend, when she was on the phone I asked her what he would be driving. She gave me the phone, he said it would be King Edward 1 double headed with I can’t remember what. I asked how do they keep the locos synchronised, he said it wasn’t a problem but the front one had to do the work looking out for signals. He had cut his teeth on Black 5’s. Later his wife said he had withdrawn his services because the company was using unqualified drivers, or something like that.
