Hot sunny days at Harwich Town station in the late 1950's.
Mainly N2 and N7 tanks simmering quietly at the head of a four rake maroon sets of carriages. No water column so if the tanks wanted topping up it was done by a hosepipe from a tap. In the afternoon sunlight it was also possible to see the letters LNER on the tank sides under the BR black paint.
Three wheel Scammel custard and cream liveried delivery wagons loading at the goods yard.
Everything was laid back and relaxed and there was a unique smell that, sadly, I can't describe but can still recall around the whole station.
Gosh - I'm waxing lyrical but sadly sights and sounds that have gone forever.
