As I mentioned in a post yesterday, I lived on the Wirral in Cheshire as a little boy and the line from West Kirby to Liverpool was one of our main forms of transport. I also have memories of seeing my Father off at Liverpool Lime Street during the period 1949-1952 so it was all steam.
If we travelled anywhere, it was by train including a trip down to Cornwall including the Helston Branch in 1950.
Model railways wise it started with Clockwork Hornby 0 Gauge.
So that is where it started for me!
