When I was moored at Brentford I heard this funny noise, it wasn't until I realised what it was and flung open the doors did I see a tiny bit of steam loco disappearing behind the last remaining shed, a bunch of old carriages, and the ubiquitous diesel loco at the end travel at good speed over the bridge there. May have been one of the Southall traffics. Cheers, Mike -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/
