Welcome to the Forum. I grew up in Chesterfield, although I was a bit young to remember the Matlock - Buxton line before they closed it. I remember my Dad hiring a car one day (we didn't have a car in those days) and we went to Monsal Head to see a steam train burst out of the tunnel. Somewhere we used to have a photo of it, I'm sure, because I always remember Dad carrying his camera with him. In the early 1970s I took a lot of photos of (obviously) diesels, mainly Peak class, on the MML. Look forward to reading any of your recollections etc of Derbyshire or elsewhere.
