Bygone era

[NoelG]

 

A bygone era when we had real trains, brake vans, diverse and interesting pick up goods train formations, coach rakes that were mixed, engines hauling trains, run around operations, shunting, wagons and coaches to make and split formations, action and interesting movements, loads of track work needed for shunting and the stirring noise of the GM locos notching up and down.  A far cry from todays boring yo-yo buses on rails.
