[40050's ghost]

I always had a bit of an interest in railways because my Dad and Grandad both worked at Newton heath depot as firemen and then drivers all their working lives.

My interest has slowly flared up in recent years... It started when I was delivering a parcel to Eccles Station ticket office and a class 47 "whooshed" through loved the sound... and again at Eccles two Deltic's passed through together light engine and sounded awesome.

After that I used to stand next to class 47's at Manchester Piccadilly while waiting for the football special.

Started going up to The ELR four years ago. Got myself a cheap little camera and started filming last year.

Like steam as well as diesel's... My Dad used to talk about Black 5's and 8f's all the time... and class 40, 45 and 47's.

I like electric loco's and HST's as well.

My recent peaked interest in railway goings on is great but it feels like I've missed the best years.
