G James Engine driver . The Mallard 1948 and royal Scot.
« on: Saturday 26 July 14 08:34 BST (UK) »
Hi My Late Aunts father in Law was G James and was something of a celebrity among Engine drivers in 1948 . Does anyone know anything else about him ? The Attachment shows him with his firemen at nine elms in 1948 at the locomotive exchange trials.

Regards

Nick
