The old man worked in the parcels office at bromsgrove station, at the foot of the Lickey Incline. He took me with him one day, when aged about four, in1957, and parked me on one of the benches on the up platform armed with an exercise book and pencil. apart from a fifteen year gap when West Brom and that strange breed we call women took over, have been an enthusiast ever since. luckily my wife is very understanding, and even quite likes 37s..Even though dragged up on ageing rusting steam, seem to prefer the old diesels and go to as many galas as I can.
