Was born in Croydon in 1950 and spent the first 12 years of my life in a house at Addiscombe, overlooking the entrance to the 4-road carriage shed there. My young memories of that house are all punctuated by the noise of electric units (EPBs) creeping in and out of the shed. And I have a vague, distant memory of a steam engine which came once a week or so to shunt the coal yard on the other side of the tracks – in my mind's eye it was a Maunsell mogul, but I'd love to know for certain what kind of loco it might have been.
