Taking some time off

blog-0434317001446056512.jpgI am taking some time off from model railways. An important birthday is coming up and my good lady and I are going to celebrate with a week in Snowdonia. I thought I would leave you with this evocative photo from warwickshirerailways.com, of unrebuilt Royal Scot 6131, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. The photo was taken at New Street Station and the young boy somehow looks the way I felt when I was his age!

That could have easily have been me in the early sixties looking at 46245 City of London at Bletchley Station!

Yes, right down to the school uniform (at least in my case) because I don't think I traveled in any other clothes.  I have a photo taken on arrival at Ronaldsway, Isle of Man Airport in around 1955 with me in school clothes de-planing an East Lancashire Airways DC3.  The only time my father ever flew in an aeroplane as he died the following year.  How can I show this here?
