I hope im in the right section for this subject. Can you remember when your interest in rm started? Mine started because of a layout my dad was building "for me" in our loft, sadly my dad didnt take any photos of this so I only have vague memories of it. He told me it was quite large because one of his haulage runs ( he was a lorry driver) took him to the hornby factory in london taking zinc ingots I think, so he had some sort of concession on purchasing stuff. He was also a keen photographer so when he was off the road for a few days we would go to bristol to take photos of areas before they got developed as he and my grandad worked for GWR. So my fastination was there from a very young age. When I was in my early teens a friend and I occasionaly "bunked" off school and spent summer days at cattybrook bridge on the severn tunnel line. This was out in the sticks and the closest railway to where we lived. I went back recently to take some videos and pics and it still looks the same, great little spot although the rusty drag line crane in the woods has gone, good memories!
