As a newbie on here and being of the 'older' generation, I don't know if this has been covered, also if it is in the right group. If not I'm sure a mod will put in the right one.
Anyway, I have been away from the scene for a nu
mber of years now and it saddens me to see most services are now multiple units, oh how it got me thinking of the 'old days' of loco hauled travel
My happiest memories were being in the Birmingham area in the mid to late eighties armed with my Midline piece (who remembers those!!) and in the summer raking in nb 31s, nb and eh 37s on the Cambrian, nb 47s and the odd Stratford silver roof duff on a Norwich Birmingham services. Oh and can't forget the roarers....had some decent runs behind them. One of my most favourite moves I think would have been 33051 on a Wolves Poole additional in about 1985, I had no idea it was in the area and at the time was my first ever Crompton.
Wat was your best moments?
Over to you!!
