ANYONE remember the glass loco created by Pilkington Brothers in the 1930s as an exhibition piece?
Query comes from a 79-year-old Clinkham Wood reader who claims to remember this full-scale see-through marvel during his time working at Doncaster, known then as 'the other St Helens' because of its PB connections.
Apparently, it took more than a week to have it delivered by road to London on a special slow-speed, outsized trailer. In those days, there were no motorways.
What our pensioner chum now wants to know is, for which particular event was that pre-war glass loco made?
ANYONE got a clue or two?
