Paddington for the West Country! May 1994

[@southcalder]

I never knew there was a loco named after Almon Strowger. When I was studying Telecommunications Engineering at Uni many moons back, his name was as a huge player in the development of the modern Telephone. He essentially patented the first proper automatic telephone exchange, derivatives of which were used in the UK until as late as 1995, and coincidentally in the same village as I’m waiting to access the railway right now, Crawford.

@southcalder That's an interesting story, but I don't think the name appears in my video? Am I missing something, or did you reply to the wrong video perhaps?
