Not massively but I do like to see them and when I can travel on them. I can see why folk are passionate about them though, if I had more time , money and energy I would certainly spend more time on this subject.
Bet this will be some sight though......................

Got to admit i love steam trains,they just have something about them, probably stems from me having an Hornby train set wheni was a kid, and we do come from the town that gave us the Flying Scotsman and Mallard,if you manage to get some pics maybe you can put some on here. Smile

Saw Tornado as I passed through York on way to Leeds. Too late to get the camera out as our train was packed and on wrong side.

I do and I was there and somewhere I've got a Blue Peter badge to prove it.

I was in the Scouts at the time we helped with the restoration, well sort of swept up and polished if I remember rightly Smile
and on the day itself I sold programmes.
Can't remember much more about it only 11 at the time except fancying Valerie Smile
