Hello!
A bit about me - mainly interested in steam, though some of the diesels are ok.
I live very close to the ex-Midland main line between Chinley and New Mills South Junction, so have a decent variety of rail traffic passing by, but its such a shame there isn't a stream of 8Fs stuggling up the bank like there used to be!
I also miss the double-headed 37s that more recently were in charge of the ICI hoppers that used to literally shake my house when they passed.
I am now lucky in having a 2½ yr old grandson who enjoys travelling by train, and is mad on Thomas the Tank Engine, so gives me a great excuse to visit Churnet Valley, East Lancs and Rudyard Lake railways. It also gives me the excuse to play with his battery-operated Trackmaster Thomas trains
