    Wonderful, thank you for sharing . #15, Windward Islands, a fabulous shot, it's Hillhouses, a standing start from there with a Jubilee usually caused the Huddersfield station masonry pointing to suffer, B&O was a class act at a Hillhouses standing start. :Happy:

    Remember Dauntless, Mars too. As a young man still at school in Huddersfield we used go down to watch an early train at Bradley Bar...then had to run like hell uphill to get to class. Sometimes on a Friday we used to get the evening train from Huddersfield to Halifax instead of the bus as a treat. One or two foot plate rides too....but I got caught. I stuck my head out at Greetland once, to be met by my father's cousin who was the station master there... fortunately he never dropped me in it. No school buses in them days...all public transport including Huddersfield trolleys....eco transport of the 1950's....
