    If memory serves me right, did the late Mr Maymen work on the Zillertal Railway every summer? - again memory tells me that there was a Derrick Maymen, in an episode of Great Railway Journeys of the World in 1980 - the episode which went UK, to Hungary, via Switzerland and Austria and narrator Eric Robson introduced him as a businessman from the West Midlands, he donned overalls every summer to work on the Zillertal.

    A return trip to Stratford, exactly like the Shakespeare Express, involves tender first running on the outbound run. These are restricted to 45mph unless special derogation is given.

    The name was Derek Mayman BEM (voluntary service to Railway Heritage in the West Midlands and Wales) and his obituary on

    http://www.moseleians.co.uk/people/obituaries-3/

    makes interesting reading and shows there was a connection with the Zillertalbahn.

    Must admit on the face of it the use of the 47 is puzzling as 5 isn't excessive for a pannier, perhaps eager not to score a hat trick of loco issues ?.
