I’ve also had a look at your own Fotopic gallery and have passwed the link on to diesel-minded friends. I also noted amongst your archive steam material that you have shots of Scotish Directors taken at Polmont in June 1959. I, too, saw the line(s) of them in the August but wasn’t in a position to actually go and photograph them.

“haven’t we seen some wonderful things.” We have and one wonders how on earth a GBRf 66/7 through Dorchester could arouse the amount of attention it did only a few weeks ago with loads of photters at the only viable viewpoint in the town. My own childhood and teenage viewpoint was the footbridge near Norbury station where steam on passenger workings was pretty tedious (Fairburns and later Standard 4MT’s) but the goods workings elicited Brighton 0-6-2Ts, Maunsell W’s, LNWR, LMSR and GNR locos but did ever photograph them? Of course not as they would be there forever wouldn’t they? Perhaps my greatest sin was that I didn’t photograph the the pre-war EMU’s which I’ve regretted to this day.

Thank you for viewing my Fotopic material. I should be able to set some time aside during the next month to upload around 50 archive shots of non-SR material as the Southern brigade has been a bit spoiled of late.
