Ha! This reminds me of this shot of mine from 3rd August 1965 taken at Haymarket station, Edinburgh. That's D5338 on the right. More of an age of innocence then, I think?

Owd Bob Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 My spotting mate Geoff' 'The Milky Bar Kid' Yates in the mid '70's at SP, looks like he's just conquered Everest, but to be fair we had just ridden our racing bikes about 12 miles on what must have been by the looks of it a very cold day. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2020 I love station/platform scenes like these. there doesn't even have to be any trains - the fashions, hairstyles, cars, adverts etc. are interesting in themselves. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Cheese Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Admiring glances for an immaculate (on the outside at least) D1041 Western Prince while setting up the display at Winchfield 150 in 1988. My Dad is in the cab acting as rider owing to his previous 60's/70's hydraulic experience, luckily all went well and no transmission troubles occurred on the day. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
