Very good chips where the hell did you rake that up from ? Noticed the old place hasn't changed that much in 36 years if anything it's a lot better looking now than then .

Imagine what the hell would happen to you nowadays if you stood at the school gates filming kids leaving , you would get locked up and the key thrown away , sad reflection on today's society really.

Gawd that brings back memories.
I was a cleaner/fireman at Perth from 1961 to 1970 when the place was closed and the traincrews moved to the General Station.
The video is 20 years before I started so the men are unfamiliar to me but the depot looked the same.
The coal hoppers are where Tesco's car park is now.
The engine turn-table was brilliant - jam the handle with a piece of coal and the turntable moved itself.
Happy daze :laugh:
