Hi from Mike57
My first post after finding you.
Brief background before I ask a question (which is why I joined)
I have always been interested in steam ( I grew up near Laira shed in Plymouth, UK) and studied mechanical engineering at university.
My first job was with BR Research Dept working on APT. I did a lot of load case calculations for the bogie designers. Later on I designed the air secondary suspension and the detailed design of the tilting power packs.
When I left I went to Avon Rubber in Wiltshire and designed/developed their air secondary systems which they sold to BR for the class 508 etc and managed the production of those and the different units for the HST mk 3 coaches.
But all that was a long time ago and I am now retired and taking up photography.
I see that quite a lot of steam specials travel through the Bath to Bradford on Avon route or pass through Westbury.
What I would like to know is if there are any sites which list what is coming (dates, time of day etc) so that I could get out there photographing.
Sorry to be so longwinded
Best wishes
Mike57
