It seems odd to me...everybody is going on about diesels! I saw loads of them and couldn't tell you what they were apart from Deltics and what I always called A1As. Then there was the Co-Bo that used to hump shunt proper English wagons in Romford yard. But for me, train spotting was all about...

I did a Railtour when I was 14 that started at Stratford and took us to Wisbech, via March, thence to Lynn, Hunstanton, Swaffham, Watton and Thetford line on which we were the last ever train and the TV were there. When I got home the evening news had me sitting on the crossing gates at Watton...

Hi, I've just found this forum. I am making a model in 7mm scale of Ferry Station on the M&GN just north of Wisbech. The old wooden platform shelter is long gone, but does anyone know what colour it would have been in, say, the 40s/50s? I also need a track plan of the yard. Are there any...
