Hello...
 

from Dave6023 in Poole.

Hi Mate
 

Hello Dave in Poole. Had some wonderful holidays in Poole as a kid. As a northerner I found it was a different world down there with the southern regions "Battle of Britain Class" steam locos. I loved them.
I was also hauled by 92220 "Evening Star" from Poole to Rotherham where I lived, that was a great experience. I think I stood all the way home with my head through the carriage door window as 12 year old enthusiasts did in those days.
I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do, great friendly people on here.

Hi 48111 and everyone else. Just returned to the site after a 6 months lay off due to not having broadband at this, my new address. I am all set up again now so its all aboard. I have passed the site address onto some friends I have made at my new employers Go North East buses in Chester Le Street who are also rail enthusiasts. I'm sure it won't be long before they are posting on here also.

Welcome back stanboy29.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
