This looks totally "bostin" (what can I say Chasetown upbringing!!) - I'm getting a pint lined up before I dive in - I'll report back in an hour or so!

A great read, I have just read Tim's intro and look forward to indulging properly later.

Thank you very much to all concerned, just the best.

Wonderful stuff, as ever...

 

[Grahame Hedges]

Great intro from guest Tim Shackleton and interesting modeling and insights from the regulars. The EM 70's updates are always a worthwhile read and this one is phenomenal.

Lovely....What can I say apart from a big thank you to Kier and the guys for another great read.

I do especially like the extra reminiscing of each of the team as it takes me back to my trainspotting days, 1969 to 1973, definitely pre TOPs.

My favourite picture in this month is Western Patriarch at Paddington in TS's introduction. Platform 1? You can almost hear it and smell/taste the diesel fumes in the station. My eyes used to water.

I will always remember my Saturdays "doing" the London termini and sheds.

No wonder I cannot get any modelling done!!
Thank you
Julian

A little bit more than an hour but likewise - the early influences were interesting to read. For myself it was Pete Johnson's photo of the HST at Bristol. One of my first memories was when my Dad was working at a school in Bristol and took us in the late 70's up to Temple Meads to have a look at the HST - trains of the future!
