Hi Andy, just seen your post, must have missed it first time around. Anyway welcome from me too. I was like you in respect to my early years back in the 50's and early 60's being a spotter. Mostly enjoyed steam and then saw the change to diesels later on in my mid teens. I then joined the Army at 16 and left my spotting days behind. Like you got married had a lovely daughter and now I have two beautiful grandkids.
A few years ago I went to Pickering and had a trip on the NYMR. Well that did it for me and now I love nothing better than to spend all day from dawn to dusk and beyond on a heritage railway back with steam! Brilliant. I dont tend to spot anymore but love to photograph. Needless to say I have thousands and have put a few on the gallery. (very good on this forum, with lots of class shots from members willing to share their "sometimes hard fought" photos!)
Anyway I hope you enjoy and look forward to your contributions.
All the best
Phil
