I was about 8 years old staying at a farm on Carrington Moss, East of Warrington. The Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) main line from Manchester to Liverpool ran close by and a friend and myself used to watch the trains. The one engine which imprinted on my memory was a D10 number 62655 "The Earl of Kerry", I can trace my love of railways back to seeing that engine fresh from Gorton works having been repainted in British Railways colours. That was in 1949 and that love has never died.
