David Geraghey, known affectionately to his friends as 'grumpy' worked at GEC for over 30 years.
David worked in fabrication at Strand Road on the Pendle Heroes and the London Underground trains - making all the equipment for the control boxes and cabs.
He said: "I have seen people I worked with but haven't seen for ages.
I was made redundant in 2003, and these events are the only way I can keep in touch with a lot of people I used to work with. It's lovely seeing people's faces again and having a catch up and finding out what people are up to."
David's work has taken him all over the world - China, Greece, Poland, Australia, Canada - to show other workers 'best practice' when it comes to fabrication.
Pal David Winder worked with David at GEC. David worked as a progress chaser, or 'gopher' as they were known. He worked his way up to production controller, and then production manager over a 30 year career with the company.
He also finished in 2003 when he was made redundant.
They attended the Christmas party with their friend and fellow Preston Modern Railway Club member Carl Smith, who worked at Fox's biscuits.
