Back in the day, when in the final year of school, I would often go down to Capital Park depot and take my train photos. At the back of the shed was the South Yard near the electric shed, and the dumped class GM Garrats were staged there. My friend, Bryce Bell, and I would go there and imagine ourselves as “stokers” and dressed accordingly. I was to fulfil that dream later on, while Bryce went on to fill teeth as a Dental Technician. Here we are in 1972!!

More shots of us playing at trains. Of course I changed colour after climbing out the chimney!

It’s not that I thought it was a bad steamer, but a clinker has to be gotten rid of!

AWESOME! But I dont know if choosing a dentist over stoker is a good idea or not...
