Having watched this post since it started I've decided to say where and when I got interested in the Railways it was many, many years ago when as a youngster I was lucky enough to be able to wander along and see the Coronations racing along the West Coast main line, and seeing the humble feights sitting in the loops, awaiting a path. In the 1950's I was made to do my two year forces sevice and used to travel from Devonport or Portsmouth back home on leave here to the North West behind Castles, Halls as well as the Staniers, from Crewe northto Lancaster.
I started photographing in the 1960's and have done so ever since as have my two sons, as some of my photographs have show I have visited Switerland on many occasions just for their Railways.
I have just been to the SVR diesel gala with my two sons, so it definitely runs in the Family
As some members know I am also a mnember of a Model Railway Club, so the interest
that started away back in the 1940's still prevails to this day.
