Hi Dave and a warm welcome from me too. Hope you enjoy the company on this forum. I too was a late 50's early 60's spotter in the days when times were a changing! Steam was being neglected for the cleaner easier diesels!! Lots of new experimental locos were being seen taking over from the "old ways". I guess it was sad to see so many fine engines going to the cutters, but at the same time there was an air of excitement with the spotting of Deltic's, Peaks, and other fine diesels. Having said that I am a steam die-hard and there is where I belong!
Enjoy and have fun on here
All the best
Phil
