Bressingham's 60th Anniversary 'Do' - continued

[Timothy Hackworth Jr]

I was stunned at the size of the coal being used on the narrow gauge too, very small indeed. Last time I had a batch like that at work I refused to use it. When I had a footplate ride on Gwynedd, it was fired before the run and not touched at all on the way round, some 2 miles. To be fair to it, once it had draught on it and was working, the chimney was quite clean.
