It's a small world Terpe,... I'm one of the real life 'railway children',..seriously ! I lived out in the hills at a railway junction way back in 1960-67,..only means of transport was the trains,...going to school, going into town and visits from the doctor ! The television crew came to us and made a documentary about my family in 1965 !
My father wrote a small book about his memories of his life working on the railway, all the proceeds were given to the local charity that were trying to restore the line around where he spent all his working days. It was written very formally from all his diaries he used to keep. Some good old-fashioned photo's of some old steam and diesel engines.I will send you a PM with a link for it if you wish ?

That would be most welcome and very kind. Sadly Jonny, just now you not able to access PM
I'll contact you with my e-mail address.

We used to have a railway line and station in our village way back when. Like you it was the pretty much the only way to get to the nearest towns.
The station has gone and most of the line taken up. It's now a cycle track and nature walk..very nice too. Some of the track remains and form part of a local Steam Railway system.

I'll be in touch with you via e-mail.

Just a thought Jonny

You could start a blog here on this forum ....Go to the 'forum' page and look at the menu...I'm sure many of us would be interested in what you say and looking at your old pics ....It saves taking the threads off topic
