I went along to this as a kid in 1979/80 at Rainhill - 3 day extravaganza with loads of locos, including the APT pulled by a diesel!!
Anyone know how i can get some footage of this? BBC did a program about it on BBC2, and people may have taken video/cine??
I used to live 400 yards or so from the bridge by the ex (old) Lea Green station (not the new one!), and am planning on modelling Rainhill station & skew bridge, and Lea Green too and am thinking of modelling the cavalcade time so I can have lots of different locos etc.
Many thanks for any help!
