| When
I started this website, my main
priorities were to create a
platform for prototype and model
railways conversation from a
standpoint of collecting a bank
of memories for the post war
generation of "Baby
Boomers". We watched the
splendour of the Nationalised
British Raiways through the
transition from Steam Power
through Diesel and onto the
spreading Electrification of the
Network. We saw first hand the
Beeching Plan cancelling much of
the rural network! I
have been inspired by books such
as Cheese Butties and the 12.39
to Wigan by Andrew Mellor and
Reading Between The Lines by Vic
Millington. These books are full
of real stories of a trainspotter
and a working railway guard
showing "How it was!"
I
have set up the site with a
"Readers'
Contributions" section, so
that you can see your memories
online, sharing with your
contemporaries under the
following headings!
