As Bob Hope used to say, thanks for the memoires.

 

If 9769 had controls at each end, was there a reason for your engineer not using them both?

9769 was single-ended until it was converted from baggage-mail to baggage in about 1957 but I don’t know how firm that date is.

All the photos I've seen of the '69 show it as a double end car with both ends painted in the red-yellow paint scheme.  I don't remember the rear end being painted at the time I was there and I do know that our engineer never ran the car from the rear end..We backed up with the waycar ahead from Clay Center to Sutton.
