Publisher's Synopsis
This is a historical personal account of what it was like being a train-spotter growing up in the 1950's and 1960's, it is about platform end, line-side and shed 'bunking' experiences, what coloured our choices of places to visit, the excitement and anticipation we felt when ever we visited a new location or re-visited a favourite haunt. It inevitably centers around the choices we had to make living North of the border to see things we might never otherwise be able to see and the frustrations of missing out on things on our bucket list. The book also delves into peripheral arguments about the modernisation plan, preservation projects and some personal thoughts.
