Hi Gilbert,
I don't usually join forums, usually preferring usenet instead. However, after landing here from some obscure link and noticing the title Peterborough North I just had to read on, well it is local to me.
Having read through all 77 pages of this for the last few days I feel like you have invented the ultimate time machine just for me! One of the best reads I have had in ages.
What has really caught my attention apart from the exquisite modelling is the nostalgia you have created, be it smoke, steam and grime to Lyon's pies, cartoned milk vending machines, Ian Allen ABC's and the comradery of spotters which has not waned all these years later, judging by all the positve posts.
I come to this late so all the superlatives have been quoted, I just cannot think of another but I am sure that there is still many ooooh's and arrrrh's to come. Looking forward to more.
PS. "Before The Diesels Came!" by A.V. Fincham was his first book, same format as the other, all photos 1957/58.
sadly The Model Shop is no more
