The SMR began life back in 1958

These pictures were taken in spring 1970 by Bernard Daniels

 

The late Lord John is in charge of lead engine,"John of Gaunt" (now re-named John H Gretton) as he double heads with "Blanch of Lancaster" on the attack of the bank, bringing up the fully loaded train from lakeside.

Taking a heavy train from a standing start up the bank calls for some nifty driving

Note all the "classic" cars of the era snaking around the lion reserve in the background (enclosed by the massive steel fence!!)

Allegedly, on a clear night, the lions roars could be heard for miles!!
