Hello to everone

Hi there. I'm a 57 year old train spotter who can't get steam out of my system. Soft spot for early diesel and electric locos too. Must be about the era more than the motive power.

In that case I'm sure you will feel at home here. A lot of us are in the same (happy ) position.

Hello Launceston Castel and welcome to the Railway Forum. I'm a steam man myself but I am getting to like early diesels as well.

Hello Launceston Castle, welcome to the forum. I am 12 years older than you but have always had an interest in anything with wheels. I am an avid spotter, especially since I retired.

I love steam and diesel too, not so much into electrics - just don't seem to have the same character somehow. Welcome and enjoy.
