Hello from Ottery St. Mary
Hello everyone - found this site by accident!!
What a good group of people to meet.
I began as a trainspotter (with baggy short grey flannel trousers and scabby knees) in the '50's in Surbiton and still have my Ian Allen books.
Wish I'd had a camera then but couldn't afford it.
I took one b/w shot of Winston Churchill's funeral train with a very old Kodak box camera.
All my other photos came much later - mainly of "former" railway lines and overgrown track beds, plus of course much of the contents of Woodhams' scrapyard in the mid '70's.
I have a great regard for the old GCR - Robinson's locos were such elegant designs - despite their lack of breath (except the Directors) - pure Edwardian beauty.
I would love to post pics. but don't know how to convert my prints and slides of the 70's - can anyone help?
