Hello

Cavreadingrail,

Hello all, I have had a life long interest in rail, mainly western region since I was four when my father took me to see the first BRITS through Reading General station in the mid 1950's. My interests are narrow but deep, in trying to build a collection focussed on on this location up to 1959.

I am also interested in the current development proposals for READING station

hi cavreadingrail///your name would descibe me quite accurately as I was born and bred in Caversham...a little later than you I think as it was 1968 before I found Platform 5 at Reading General.....so Westerns and Warships would be top of my pops.....have to make do with GM's these days which arent hugely interesting but nice to glimpse now and again....

Hi Cav.

I've got fond memories of Reading. I copped 1200 Falcon there in the 70's! AND copped the departmental shunter in the signal works.

Welcome to the forum.
