IT's thanks to people like you that my kids and people of the future can experience when a train ride wasn't a boring commute on a sanitised 'bus ride' but still had a sense of adventure to it. Keep em coming!
Can we see some footage of a ride with the sounds that a passenger would experience one day please?
Geoff, (Gigolo8) your my #1 fan so I cant disagree with your comment about sanitized buses. As a train spotter in my early teens, everybody was talking about 'THE DELTICS ARE COMING, THE DELTICS ARE COMING' so I waited with eager anticipation till the day one drifted thru Wigan North Western station & my reaction was, 'IS THAT IT? HOW BORING!'
Aha! Behind the scenes at the ELR shed! Brilliant. I was there for the Autumn steam event and for a deltic running day; check out my channel for some of my material if you wish.
Thank you kindly David. Dont forgeet there is a monthly site tour of the East Lancs. Its free for prospective volunteers. You can contact the ELR thru the phone # in the video.
