• The rain was gently falling...

The rain was gently falling when they started down the line,
And on the way to Buxton the sun began to shine,
But the steam brake pipe was leaking and a wisp of steam did rise -
The fireman he reported this when in Buxton they arrived.

When we left Edgeley it was raining cats and dogs, but on the way up it cleared beautiful, and by
the time we got to Buxton it was like a Spring morning. The sun was shining, wasn’t a cloud in the
sky, and you, you get a keenness up there with it being very high up, and with the sun shining it
was… , it made you feel real good. By the time we’d finished our engine duties on the ashpit and
that, cleaned the fire and coal and watered it and turned ready for the journey back, we got
settled on the shed road and Jack made the repair card out for the brake steam pipe. So I got out
this card, took it to the chargehand fitter, and then I went to get the can of tea. When I arrived
back the fitter was just sending his mate for an inch and a half spanner to tighten this union nut to the brake disc, and after they’d done the job we started chatting about what we was going to do
when we got finished. I was going to watch Stockport, Stockport County, that was playing at home,
and Jack he was going to have another couple of hours in bed. We’d been up since four o’clock that
morning, and he was going to a big dinner at the Alma Lodge that evening. Jack kept himself very
young with his social life – he liked a lot of dancing and parties, other chaps, like, they have, they
like to... football, and play golf, garden, and as we don’t get many Saturday afternoons off, when we
do get one we really like to enjoy it.
