Description:	Four schoolboys train-spotting at Southall in 1961 decided that they would try to preserve a Great Western 'push and pull' (auto train) tank engine. Railway preservation was in its infancy, but a letter published some months later in the 'Railway Magazine' precipitated donations towards the project. It became necessary to put the scheme on a proper footing and thus was born the Great Western Society in 1964.
