Newcomer from Birmingham
At last! A forum dedicated to railway enthusiasts like myself. Briefly, I am aged 62 and have loved railways ever since I discovered a GWR main line 5 minutes walk from my house. I started taking an interest from about the age of about 8 or 9 I would guess. I was therefore lucky enough to see steam working on BR, then the transition period with the early diesels and electrics. I try to visit as many heritage lines as I can and am a long time member and supporter of the Severn Valley Railway.
Finally, I do wish the media would stop referring to railway enthusiasts as train buffs! Another annoyance is when they refer to a locomotive as a train! I could go on.....
