That was such a wonderful event. I spent 2 glorious days at Chiswick
Works and Acton Works, both now but a memory of happier days. For me,
the best bit was being able to roam around the withdrawn District R,
and COP stock in the sidings at Acton, on which I had travelled to
school every day for the previous 7 years. I had a packed lunch in the
driving cab of one, imagining what it would have been like to be a
driver. Acton Works were even selling off spares - I came away with 2
leather-bound armrests from that stock - real class!

It does seem like only yesterday.
I started at Acton as an apprentice vehicle builder in 1982. The best 4
years of my life.
They don't do them like that anymore.
