Hi there,
I find myself at the reminiscing age !
I lived as a child in a small village that straddled the Notts & Derbys border with 2 railway lines which ran through the village . I have done a liitle research on the www and originally it was the LD&ECR .
I suppose now my intro could become a quiz , name that village !!!
Railways where a major part of the area and of course coal mines, there was a big engine shed a few miles away and also a wagon works.
The village i lived in had a lovely station building which i think was closed under The Beeching plan, i only remember it deralict
Steam trains trundled past our house (more or less) my research and fading memory tells me Robinson O4`s and i hope someone can tell me others.
Then the diesel age began,as a schoolkid we could see the diesel shed and a fair part of track from the school field (in junior school the the line ran past our playground ,counting the trucks became the norm)
I hope i haven`t waffled on to much
Cheers Eagle 125
