The broad gauge Iron Duke replica was demonstrated in the same
location in 1985.


Indeed, I went to see that one.

Did you see the steam loco which ran somewhere near Euston Square?

He didn't catch that one...

Which particular day of operation of the pre-electrified Metropolitan
City Line had you mind ?

Or, indeed, post electrified as there were servcei kettles too until
1970.

1971. I saw some for their farewell at Neasden that year.
