Hi all!
 

Hi everyone. Did a shed-load of photography between 1980 & 1990 so hope to share some memories of the days when train doors actually slammed! Working for the railway I travelled all over the UK and covered most branchlines, pictures are scanned negatives as no digital camera's in those days & mainly B&W. Trying to put together a book/ticket/luggage label collection on a VERY limited budget so any tips on that would be great. Steve.

Hi Steve and a warm welcome from me. I would love to see some of your old photos. We have a great gallery on here for members to upload. There are some great shots.
Hope you get on ok with your book, sounds interesting.
All the best
Phil

Thanks Phil
 

Thanks very much Phil. Quite a coincidence as I was thinking of using Silver Fox as a user name, being a fan of Gresley's 60017! Will post two or three photo's per day, or try to. Steve.

Hi Steve & welcome to the forum.

Love your avatar. I never got to drive Thumpers but I always loved the sound of them. Whenever I was at Selhurst prepping an EMU, you could often hear them ticking over in the distance without being able to see them because of the density of units which were stabled.

And when they pulled away it sounded like an old fishing trawler was chugging slowly away from the depot towards Norwood Junction. :D

Best wishes, BW
