When I was 9 or 10, I took up Trainspotting (yeah I know) for 6 weeks or so during the school holidays. We used to stand somewhere in the Carricknowe area and "spot" the trains using the lines into and out of Haymarket goods yard and the Waverley Station. One day along came A4 Pacific "Union of South Africa" number 60009 with no carriages. The driver stopped and asked if we were interested in a wee trip. He helped us up onto the footplate and we went a fair distance, probably out passed Balerno before he reversed back. An A4 still holds the world speed record for a steam train and travelling the longest distance non-stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you look earlier in this thread there are photos of the Railway station in Balerno. I think they are very close to the begining. Cheers, again sorry for the confusion.
