    I grew up in Dorking, and the 'Tadpole' thumpers ran on the Reading-Tonbridge line when i was a kid in the 70s. Such a wonderful sound. They had more of a standard blast horn though. They look rather stately and almost frail in the green livery and slow speeds. Back in the day they were lovely noisy, shaky, filthy beasts in blue and yellow! Love that old ticking sound at 9:00 you got from these and most of the EMUs and Underground Trains. 9:37 that could be me standing on the platform at Gomshall, waiting for it to go past so we could cross the tracks to get to meet my Grandpa in his car (there was no footbridge then)

    I seem to recall that the line to Ludgershall split in two near its terminus? Or was I dreaming?

      No, you weren't Alan! The line split just under the new road bridge seen above the train as it goes away in the second shot herein. The left fork goes to the "end of tracks" adjacent to the Tidworth road and the right fork goes to the sidings seen when the train entered the sidings alongside the remnants of the M&SWJR. This split was once the junction for the branch to Tidworth.

      Thanks very much, Jeremy. Nice to know the old memory box still works!

    Quaint, but not close to the glory of steam.
