Just to make you feel really old, 1975 was 3 years before I came into existencePhill Dyson said:Great links Jordan, reminds me of my Southern Region Railrover with my big bruv........... in 1975 :shock: (showing my age
)
My grandparents used to live in Weymouth and they took me down to see the boat trains a few times, must have been sometime between 1988 and 1992-ish - thoroughly enjoyable, and I still like to see video and pictures of it to this day.

Hi Phill, i like the photo 
. 1975.....mmmmm i was 9 and always wanted to go to Laira or Plymouth station or Exeter but dad said it was tooooo far and would cost toooo much :cry: so we ended up going to all sorts of places which if i remember correctly Weymouth was one. ( and for my little brain, Weymouth / Exeter not that much difference in distance 
) but seeing it was his driving,car,petrol etc i really didnt have a leg to stand on.
Oh happy days.....

.........there didn't seem much point in going after the summer of 76 
, Exeter & Reading were favourite spotting places for me too..........much more interesting than my native Yorkshire :scratch:[attachment=1:18yzxk9g]img460.jpg[/attachment:18yzxk9g]

Great pics Phill At least you had a camera i (according to my dad) wasnt old enough for a camera. He also thought i didnt know how to use one properly so he would'nt let me use his to take pics.Of course i would have only took pics of WESTERNS and not what my dad took 50,47,46,45 etc and not many westerns I still give him grief about it but i think it falls on deaf ears.
