Hey
 

Hey. I found this site on Google and figured I'd sign up. I've not posted on any forums much for a while, but having a soft spot for the railways I figured I'd sign up and try contribute to the discussions.

I'm not really a huge expert on the subject, my knowledge extends to a basic understanding of how TOPS works, I'm 20 years and often busy working so I don't have tonnes of time spare these days, but this seems like a fairly friendly place so. :p

Anyway, just figured I'd say hey.

Hello Danny and welcome to the Forum and enjoy.

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Interesting name!!
Regards Mike.

Ah, my real name's Danny, my username is a quote from The Chronicles of Riddick. :p

I'm a very odd character.

Welcome to the forum Danny. Look forward to your posts.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Welcome Danny.
Paul.

Welcome to the forum Danny.

Hi Danny, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of members who don't know a lot about railways but have a soft spot for them. Although I worked on a railway, my knowledge of British railways was very limited until I joined this site. It is those with the soft spot who later become the ones with the knowledge to pass on when old gits like me have gone to the big railway in the sky where all trains run on time and never breakdown or run out of steam.

Welcome,don't be shy just ask some one will know about it.

All the best,Ian

Hello and welcome to the forum Danny.

Thank you for the kind welcomes. :)

Hello Danny
 

I know your home area very well (well I did know it until 1965 or so). I remember your house being built!!! The land used to be a rough tip for Wheatsheaf Colliery which stood just across City Walk. I used to play on it!!!
If your house shakes with a 142 going through the tunnel, just imagine a couple of 0-8-0 coal engines on a heavy train going to Swinton!
I have also posted on the Pendlebury thread.
