Title: A Blast from the Past
Post by: Peachy on 15 June 2010, 20:12:25
This something we probably will never see again.......

and ALL consecutively numbered.....

Going past my late grandmother's house, now my uncle's house in Nelson.
Picture 2 is the village where I was born and Picture 3 is the village where I was brought up until I left home at 18.

Oh the glory days, and I worked in CDP when I was very young as an assistant cook during my college days.
Oh memories.

I know a lot of women fancy guys that wear the forces uniforms, maybe some of should have taken up jobs as train drivers when we were younger.  ::)

Never fails to amaze me when Good looking women are passionate about big moving machinery.............

Attractive though, in a funny sort of way..........

Poetry in motion, don't you think when a large old steam train goes by from a bygone age when men sweated like pigs , and ladies merely glowed........ 8-)

When I was about 8 or 9 I had a Hornby model of 76079 (when Hornby still made metal model and tracks)
I think it is still at my dads some 30 years later in the loft gathering dust.

This is a wonderful site, full of old photographs with a heavy slant on railways and steam.

But particulary interesting if you like pictures of old Brum.
