My love of railways is almost entirely an aesthetic one. I do realise that the railway is there to do a job, and I can appreciate that the 66 is a good piece of engineering...but speaking as an ex-trainspotter, I just find them so boring!

I suppose I'm now feeling like the older steam lads did in 1968.
Hi Trev,
I am old enough to have had the heartache when steam went, then when the Deltics went, then the 40's and 45's, then my beloved 37's and 20's.
I am sure I will feel the same when the HST's go, if ever they do.
They call it progress dont they, though we all have our own opinions wether it is or not.
Paul.
