In the late 1950's and the 1960's we would visit Crewe or Derby Loco works and walk through the erecting shops between rows of locos in all stages of repair, totally stripped down to fully built up, with Blue Asbestos and White asbestos totally exposed on boilers, cylinders etc., even lying about on the floor. Scrapping going on, locos being stripped for overhaul, etc, etc, and no-one gave it a second thought. Stories like this make you think: There but for the grace of god.....
