20100106 - 55022 - Stalybridge

            06/01/2010 - The day my short association with 55022 began. Then owner, Martin Walker, was taking RSG over to Barrow Hill to collect recent aquisition 55016 "Gordon Highlander" and phoned me en-route to advise they were going to be sat at Stalybridge for a while. Well it would have been rude not to act on this information, so i quickly turned the car around and headed for Stalyvegas. 

As the "Go" button was pressed, that familiar spine tingling noise rose from the beast and that always spectacular exhaust erupted back into life. For the next 10 years 22 played a good part in my life and i can only thank Martin for allowing me to assist with this magnificent machine!!
