Thanks you all for your replies. I've been on Amazon and sorted the Platform 5 book out which will really get me going. Thanks also for the suggestions on freight yards - some of them are a bit far away for an afternoon trip but I'm sure I'll get round to all of them sooner or later. I've just started to give myself Sundays off for leisure pursuits so I think it'll be a trip to Tours this weekend. A few years ago whilst on holiday in France I remember visiting a friend whose garden backed on to the main Tours to Nantes line and I recall seeing a train pass by every 10 minutes. I always promised myself a trip to that area again so here goes!
I'll keep you posted.
