Train Spotters Corner
l wanted to start a thread for anybody who enjoys trains be they steam, electric or diesel.
I know a lot of people are into trains and railways and for me my love of it started when l was younger and continues unabated to this day. Please also feel free to discuss anything you want to about it and please also feel free to post pictures and photos. |

My family and l went to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway earlier in the week and saw Quite a few different trains there and they included the Ex GWR "4575" Class small Prairie 2-6-2T No 5552 and the Diesel classes 33, 37 and 50 and we also paid a visit to the depot where another diesel is being restored and all in all we had a lovcely day there.

Thanks Denphone :)
That was taken not far from Watchet, Opposite the Warren Bay camp site there's a path down the steep bank you can see on the right of the pic. You can get some good shots from the bank too. It's a lovely part of the world and there's plenty of good places to get pics. |

Thought you guys might want a peek at these pics.
They are currently being restored as they are now out of service and many of the stations along the track have now closed down. In one direction the track is now no longer there. I took them whilst in France as they reminded me of my childhood having travelled on these little trains. I particularly like the blue one. |
Re: Train Spotters Corner
Yes its lovely to see these pictures but its so sad that many stations and tracks including our own country in that have disappeared and will never be seen again.
