My darling grandfather-who was, alas, blessed with only two grandaughters not grandsons!! He was adamant i would be a woman driver, and would take me out every weekend on one train trip or another. My first memory is being at steam town at carnforth, i remember looking at a great steaming beast with a friendly chap waving at me from the footplate-i was fascinated-and completely hooked from that point on!!!
