My days were of steam in the 50's with just a hint of the wave of diesels about to surge past! 60's were a mix bag of both and I spent many a happy hour on Grantham station or Newark just to hear and smell the power of the locomotives. Our highlight was a trip out to Derby or Nottingham and to look at these now, they are not the same stations. Like 4811 said Thank god for the preserved railways!
